RED Chocolate adds more milk fat to chocolate recipes

Addition improves texture, richness of dark chocolate offerings.

July 28, 2021

RED Chocolate has added more milk fat to its recipes to improve texture and increase the richness of its dark chocolate offerings.

RED Chocolate's products include no added sugar, reduced calories and less fat. The brand’s dark chocolate products are 40 percent less in calories and its milk chocolate products are 30 percent less, compared to other chocolates on the market.

“We’re amazed at the reception our chocolates have received since arriving in the U.S. even during a pandemic when so many brands suffered,” says Glenn Gardone, president and CEO. “This invigorates us to look for ways to perfect our exclusive recipes so that our customers get the best chocolate without the guilt. It’s a healthier lifestyle choice that chocoholics can feel good eating. It makes a convenient on-the-go snack for hiking and being outside this summer, too.” 

RED Chocolate is made with cocoa from the Ivory Coast of Africa, whose farmers select, roast and grind the cocoa beans to perfection. The European brand is one of the first to use the natural sugar from the cocoa bean itself, as well as naturally occurring sugars from fruits such as melons to lightly sweeten their recipe, receiving more than 10 invention patents in the process.

The full bars and grab-n-go come in Classic Dark, Classic Milk, Orange and Almond. The diamond-shaped pralines are available in either a smooth nut or a coconut filling. RED is Weight Watchers-friendly, keto-friendly, gluten-free, kosher, palm oil-free, and non-GMO. They're now available at Sam's Club.
