Posted on : 30 Mar, 2010

Villars Maître Chocolatier is making waves with the launch of their "Dark 70% cocoa" bars, low in sugar.  As Villars' manufacturing philosophy is not to use any artificial colourings or flavorings, the chocolate maker was immediately attracted by the first studies carried out in Switzerland on Rebaudioside-A made from the plant stevia. 

 

The company spent a year and a half working on the recipe to get the proportions right, and is the first chocolate maker to use stevia sweeteners in chocolate, opening a whole new category of F&B products for stevia sweeteners.
