Vanhouten Professional, a brand from the house of Barry Callebaut, launched a range of couverture chocolate and compounds at an event that took place in Mumbai recently. The couverture range comprises four variants - dark chocolate couverture (with 46.5 per cent cocoa); intense dark chocolate couverture (with 36.1 per cent cocoa); milk chocolate couverture (with 35.6 per cent cocoa) and white chocolate couverture (with 29.3 per cent cocoa).
Deepa Dsouza, director, Barry Callebaut India, said that the vision of the business-to-business (B2B) company was to make its presence felt worldwide with a customer-centric focus, team spirit and integrity. It pledged to have the following agenda: states with zero child labour, prospering farmers and to have 100 per cent sustainable ingredients in all their products by 2025. Being Asia-specific, it has relocated its chocolate and compound manufacturing plants to various locations in the region. These include Port Klang, Malaysia; Indonesia and Pune, India.
Among the chocolate brands available today, only a few can claim a legacy spanning over 180 years, and Vanhouten is one of them. It also paved the way for the subsequent manufacture of the chocolate bar. In 2018, Barry Callebaut made its presence in the retail market as Hershey’s in India. Santosh Kotla, chef and head, academy and technical support, Barry Callebaut, held a chocolate tasting session at the event to test the complexity and intensity of the chocolate.
The event concluded with the felicitation of the stakeholders, whom Dsouza described as their network to reach out. In 2008, Barry Callebaut launched the Vanhouten Professional brand in the Asia-Pacific region to meet the expectations of bakers and pastry chefs. Barry Callebaut is a hybrid family public structure, listed on the Swiss Exchange. Over 60 per cent of the shares are held through Laccobs Holding and family. All Vanhouten Professional products are made at state-of-the-art factories in Asia.
