Dr Schär said the launch expands its offering in the frozen treat category. As a frozen item, the product preserves the “aroma and taste” of “authentic” pain au chocolat, the company claimed.
The product can be cooked from frozen and is ready to eat after “minutes of baking”, Dr Schär continued.
It is made using dark chocolate and as well as not containing any gluten the pain au chocolat are free from artificial colours, wheat and lactose.
Dr Schär has been expanding its presence in Spain through product launches including, most recently, gluten-free crackers. The company earlier this year announced plans to invest EUR11.5m (US$12.9m) in sweet bread and rolls production at a plant in Spain.
