Dark, white and milk chocolate are all enhanced to their true potential with SweetPearl®! It was this flavour enhancement, rather than the nutritional benefits of maltitol, that first persuaded several top chefs to use it in their desserts. As Christophe Michalak, Winner of the World Pastry Cup 2005 says, "SweetPearlTM enhances the intense nature of the cocoa and gives free reign to my creativity."
With its unique, crystalline form and ease of use, SweetPearl® is versatile enough to adapt to any chocolate production process, thus encouraging creativity with textures too. Whether it's soft or crunchy chocolate textures you desire, these can be created or combined at will, set off perfectly by the intensity of cocoa flavours. SweetPearlTM, the maltitol by Roquette, has the dexterity to spark the creative imagination of artisan producers and mass-market manufacturers alike.
The chocolate consumers prefer
But SweetPearl® in chocolate is not just the choice of the experts - a Market Audit survey* for Roquette shows that consumers love it too. Although the way the chocolate melts in the mouth, the taste release and the overall impression seem the same, discerning chocolate lovers say they can perceive a difference when it comes to the most fundamental point - the cocoa and sweet tastes. The result: a greater, more enriching chocolate experience. What's more, by replacing the sugars, chocolate can celebrate its natural benefits of magnesium, polyphenols and fibre.
The market is ready, with 94% of consumers in France, Germany and the UK keen to try a chocolate that offers nutritional benefits**. Furthermore, with global sales of reduced sugar chocolate and chocolate without added sugar continuing to post double-digit annual growth***, isn't it time you launch with SweetPearl®?
