Barry Callebaut, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products, will exhibit at the ISM 2010 trade fair in Cologne, Germany. A number of new and exciting chocolate products will be presented at Barry Callebaut’s stand including an innovative range of inclusions and decorations designed to add an extra dimension to virtually any food concept.

The 40th edition of the ISM will provide the perfect backdrop for the launch of several new concepts in chocolate. Newcomers include delicious ChocMelts. Unlike regular chocolate, these clever chocolaty chunks melt in the mouth at low temperatures, making them ideal for use in ice cream. Other newcomers are Barry Callebaut’s TastyChocs. They may be small but they really pack a punch when it comes to flavour. Available in a variety of flavours, including cherry, mint, orange and coffee, these bake-stable inclusions retain their aroma even at high temperatures – perfect for use in biscuits, cakes and pastries but also in confectionery and cereals. The all new Crispearls™ from Barry Callebaut retain their crunch even in mousses and ice creams. Tantalizingly shiny on the outside and with an unexpected crunch on the inside, they are designed for use as inclusions or decorations, but they are equally irresistible all on their own.

“Barry Callebaut’s new range of inclusions and decorations cover a wide spectrum of taste and texture sensations. As such, they add a unique touch and – importantly – a significant competitive edge to our customers’ products,” says Hans Vriens, chief innovation officer at Barry Callebaut.

Barry Callebaut’s new range of products complements an already extensive portfolio of fine quality cocoa and chocolate and innovative chocolate solutions. Barry Callebaut is the world’s leading producer of fine quality origin, organic and fairtrade chocolates. It also leads the way in naturally healthy chocolate products such as its fibre-enriched chocolate, low-fat and/or low-sugar or even sugarfree chocolate, toothfriendly and probiotic chocolate. The company is also the inventor of ACTICOA® cocoa and chocolate, among the world’s richest sources of health-enhancing, antioxidant cocoa flavanols.
