new food product developments
From plant-based probiotics to cacaofruit chocolate, here’s a quick splash about some of the new food products hitting the shelves.
1
Cold brew vegan gelato
Gelatissimo’s cold brew coffee gelato is prepared by steeping coffee beans in water for up to 24 hours to create a coffee concentrate. The cold brew produces a smooth coffee that contains less acidity than hot brewed coffee. This is claimed to provide a sweeter flavour with no bitter aftertaste. The vegan gelato uses oat milk specifically designed to be paired with coffee.

Wholefruit chocolate
Cacao Barry’s WholeFruit Evocao couverture chocolate has a fruity taste. With 40% less sugar than most dark chocolates, it is made from 100% pure cacaofruit — a fruit of which 70% is normally discarded as waste. Other flavours are set to be released in 2022.

Garnish range Bite-sized crackers
Monday Distillery dehydrates artisan fruit and botanicals at low temperatures to retain extra colour, flavour, aroma and texture. Everything is then packaged and sealed to keep it fresh and bright. The Garnish by Monday range features dried cucumber, lemon, lime, strawberry, pineapple and orange twists that can be used for tapas, cocktails or the distillery’s zero alcohol drinks.
