Sustainable plant-based chocolate brioche

Move to a fully plant-based chocolate brioche and significantly reduce your environmental footprint. Our innovative solutions include a plant-based bakery mix that enables the replacement of 100% egg and significantly reduce the fats content, but also a plant-based egg-wash and a dairy butter alternative. This lowers the demand for vegetable oil, egg and dairy, and thereby reducing associated CO2 emissions compared to a butter brioche*. Moreover Moreover, the recipe is crafted with sourdough made from regenerative whole wheat—a farming approach that aims to restore the ecosystem and the soils, and ensure food supply for the future generations. Finally, the briuoche is featuring Belcolade Cacao Trace certified chocolate, the high-quality chocolate that support the cocoa farmer and protect the environment.
