Lindt and ChoViva, a vegan chocolate brand, have collaborated to introduce a special edition chocolate bar in celebration of Veganuary.
ChoViva is the brainchild of foodtech start-up Planet A Foods, which developed its cocoa-free chocolate by fermenting oats and sunflower seeds.
Named “Soft & Creamy Hazelnut,” the bar highlights a delightful ChoViva hazelnut and oat crème filling paired with hazelnut and oat cookie pieces, all encased in Lindt’s classic Hello Vegan chocolate.
The new creation is the result of a collaboration between Planet A Foods and Lindt & Sprüngli. Sara Marquart, co-founder and CTO of Planet A Foods, said, “Lindt represents the highest chocolate craftsmanship and best taste, and it feels incredible to create such a great product with such a significant company”.
According to Planet A Foods, ChoViva is asserted to generate 90% fewer CO2 emissions per kilogram during manufacturing compared to conventional chocolate.
The release of the Lindt Hello Vegan Soft & Creamy Hazelnut bar is scheduled for a limited duration in January.
