Barry Callebaut has launched Fairtrade certified versions of its popular 811NV (55.3% Cacao Dark), 823NV (35.1% Milk) and 70-30-38NV (70% Cacao Dark) references to confectioners, bakers and pastry chefs.

Confectioners, bakers and pastry chefs now have more options to meet growing consumer demand for Fairtrade ingredients.

At the same time, Callebaut's new Fairtrade options require no recipe adjustments, providing the same great taste, flavor and workability as their standard counterparts. The Fairtrade chocolate will be available as callets in 10 kg bags.

"The rising future demand for cocoa and chocolate means we are constantly looking for better, more sustainable ways to grow cocoa and to ensure that chocolate is available for future generations to enjoy," said Mike Schrauth, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing, Gourmet, Barry Callebaut. "The launch of Callebaut's new Fairtrade chocolate products is an important step."
