Food solutions for companies
Valio Bettersweet™ is a service solution that enables natural sugar reduction with up to 30% without touching chocolate’s taste or texture. It also paves the way for ‘without added sugar’ claims.
Application areas: milk chocolate, white chocolate, hazelnut cocoa spread, toffee and cocoa drink powder.
To demonstrate that Valio Bettersweet™ solution works in any milk chocolate, we took the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and human craftsmanship to create the ultimate future-proof chocolate: the Bar.
The trends say it all: We need our treats to treat us better.
The megatrend is here and it’s worldwide: Consumers are constantly looking for less sugary alternatives, also when indulging themselves with chocolate.
Sugar content is the most common nutritional fact that people look at on packages when buying food, but still alternative sweeteners and additives fail to win over consumers’ hearts, minds, and taste buds.
We at Valio want to help our customers to create the best chocolate there is. Without artificial ingredients and with less sugar.
Instead of using add-ons, we think from the inside out, working from one of the key ingredients in milk chocolate: MILK.
With our unique milk powder solutions chocolate producer can put a 30% less sugar claim on their package, offer better nutritional values and, as additive plus, also digestive comfort.
We call this solution Valio Bettersweet™
