Barry Callebaut today announced the launch of a new lactose-free milk chocolate first to be sold in the company’s Region Europe. The new chocolate differs from existing offerings by using a special skimmed milk powder with the lowest lactose content available on the market. With this particular powder, Barry Callebaut can allow higher amounts of milk powder in its recipe which preserves all the goodness from the milk- resulting in a similar taste as regular milk chocolate.
