Barry Callebaut and FlavaNaturals pioneer an advancement of flavanol-rich chocolate in consumer product line

February 14, 2018

Partnership showcases innovation with high-flavanol chocolate

  • Collaboration leverages over a decade of research and development by #barrycallebaut on high-flavanol chocolate
  • Announcement follows three years of collaboration on the development of FlavaBars – a line of premium, #darkchocolate bars with 5X the #cocoa flavanols of a typical #darkchocolate bar

The #barrycallebaut Group, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality #chocolate and #cocoa products, and #flavanaturals jointly announce their exclusive partnership through 2018 for production of high-flavanol #chocolate in the U.S. #flavanaturals is a consumer line of delicious #chocolate products that provide optimized levels of naturally preserved #cocoa flavanols. The announcement follows three years of collaboration on the development of FlavaBars, a line of premium #chocolate bars containing five times the #cocoa flavanol content of a typical #darkchocolate bar.

Research done by #barrycallebaut into the benefits of #cocoa continues to unlock the secrets of this remarkable fruit. FlavaBars leverage over a decade of development by #barrycallebaut on high-flavanol #chocolate. Although flavanols are naturally occurring in #cocoa beans, they are significantly reduced during the traditional #chocolate production process. Requiring no additives or fortification, this #chocolate retains flavanols through optimized #cocoa sourcing and processing.

Peter Boone, CEO & President, #barrycallebaut Americas comments that “Consumers today are constantly trying to achieve balance in their diet. Our proprietary sourcing and processing methods allow us to better preserve the naturally existing flavanols in #cocoa. Working with #flavanaturals, we are able to provide a new #chocolate experience for U.S. consumers.”

FlavaBars are made from all-natural ingredients and contain 500mg of #cocoa flavanols per serving. “FlavaNaturals is proud to partner with #barrycallebaut, a world leader in #cocoa innovation and sustainability,” says #flavanaturals Founder & CEO #alanfrost. “Our ultimate vision is to change the way #people think about consuming #chocolate. #chocolate may have been your weakness, but with FlavaBar, it becomes your strength.”

FlavaBars are primarily available at #flavanaturals.com. #flavanaturals plans expansion to retail in spring 2018. FlavaBars are available in six flavors, including #roastedalmondhimalayanpinksalt, #blueberrygreenteamatcha, #purecocoanibs, #espressogroundcoffee, #crystallizedgingersaigoncinnamon and #classicdark.
