Barry Callebaut Optimizes Dairy-Free Milk Chocolate Alternative

A hike in demand for lactose free products prompted leading industrial chocolate supplier Barry Callebaut to reformulate a 100% dairy free alternative to milk chocolate.

The Swiss supplier has been researching and developing lactose-free chocolate for several years and said that now it has optimized its blend of rice powder, inulin and natural flavorings added to cocoa liquor and sugar to develop a cocoa based confectionery product that is really similar in sensory attributes to milk chocolate.
