Cargill unveils new solid chocolate service for smaller users

1 September 2010 – Cargill is launching a new service in Europe to offer food-manufacturing customers its solid chocolate products in smaller quantities. The new service starts with quantities as low as a single pallet, which weighs about 400-800kg, this is in contrast to a standard minimum order, which weighs in at about 6 tones.

The products come in a variety of shapes and decorations in dark, milk and white chocolate such as buttons, drops, sticks, chunks, flakes, and splinters.

Harry Venema, commercial director chocolate for Cargill, explains, “This new service will appeal to manufacturers such as bakers, who already have a good relationship with Cargill as buyers of our Gerkens cocoa powders, but also to confectioners and ice cream manufacturers who may not have considered us for their solid chocolate, compounds and fillings needs.”
