In 2021, Gudrun was the first company in Belgium to introduce plant-based chocolates. Today, we are proud to unveil Plant Choc, an assortment of plant-based delicacies crafted and refined by our ma\u00eetre-chocolatier. This unique collection redefines the art of savoring Premium Belgian chocolates with a mindful twist.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Premium Belgian chocolate has always been about purity, combining the best cocoa and finest ingredients with authentic craftsmanship. In recent years, sustainability has become a key focus in the creation of new recipes. But can we still enjoy premium chocolate without worrying about its impact on the environment?<\/p>\n<h2>Plant-based is the future<\/h2>\n<p>In 2024, the global plant-based chocolate market was valued at $1.3 billion, with projections indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9% from 2023 to 2030. In Europe alone, this market is worth \u20ac500 million and is growing at an impressive annual rate of 10%.<\/p>\n<p>This rising interest is particularly noticeable among younger consumers. In France, for instance, 49% of 16-24-year-olds have tried plant-based chocolate in the past three months, compared to just 17% of those aged 45-54.<\/p>\n<h2>Why plant-based?<\/h2>\n<p>There are several reasons why plant-based chocolates are rapidly gaining popularity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Health Benefits<\/strong>: many consumers are seeking healthier food options, yet chocolate has long been considered a guilty pleasure. Plant-based alternatives typically contain lower levels of saturated fats and no cholesterol, offering a more health-conscious choice.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Animal Welfare<\/strong>: the shift to plant-based products is often driven by ethical concerns. Plant-based chocolates avoid the use of animal-derived ingredients such as milk, butter, whey powder, and gelatin.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Sustainability<\/strong>: plant-based products generally have a smaller environmental footprint compared to animal-based counterparts, making them an eco-friendly alternative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Plant Choc: plant-based pralines and truffles<\/h2>\n<p>With the Plant Choc assortment, our ma\u00eetre-chocolatier has elevated the plant-based concept to new heights. \u201cMany consumers are unaware that even dark chocolate truffles can contain milk-derived ingredients like lactose and whey powder\u201d, explains Gerald De Brandt. \u201cI reviewed Gudrun\u2019s recipes and selected noble ingredients that maintain the chocolates&#8217; smooth and creamy texture. Indulgence in a mindful way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indulgence, that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about. Plant Choc lets consumers savor the familiar craftsmanship and quality of Premium Belgian chocolates \u2013 guilt-free and without compromising on taste.<\/p>\n<p>Launched at the renowned ISM fair in Cologne, Plant Choc offers a delicious selection of plant-based treats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Cocoa Dusted Truffles<\/strong>: featuring a soft, melting truffle filling, these delicacies are coated in dark chocolate and dusted with a fine layer of bittersweet cocoa powder for an intensified experience. Plus, they are 100% gluten-free.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Dark Flaked Truffles<\/strong>: a smooth truffle filling enrobed in dark chocolate and rolled in fresh chocolate flakes. No milk, no guilt \u2013 just pure enjoyment.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Assorted Chocolates<\/strong>: an assortment of four plant-based flavors, each one taking you on a delicious journey of discovery. Packaged in a 100% recyclable box containing 12 exquisite Belgian pralines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plantchoc.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to discover our new Plant Choc assortment!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The global plant-based chocolate market continues to grow.
