In recent years, there has been an influx in demand for dairy-free products, driven by an increasing awareness of lactose intolerance and a growing interest in plant-based diets. At LOVO Chocolate, we are proud to cater to this need by offering a line of chocolates crafted from plant milks instead of dairy milk. LOVO Chocolate products are not only deliciously creamy but also lactose-free and the perfect treat for everyone, regardless of their dietary restrictions.
WHAT DOES LACTOSE-FREE MEAN?
Lactose is a sugar found in milk and dairy products. For many, consuming lactose can lead to digestive discomfort and other symptoms. Lactose intolerance occurs when the body does not produce enough lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose. According to the Children's Hospital of Boston, about 30 to 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant, with varying prevalence among different ethnic groups. For instance, up to 90% of Asian Americans and 75% of African Americans, Native Americans, and Jewish Americans are affected by lactose intolerance (Children’s Hospital of Boston).
Lactose-free products, like LOVO Chocolate, are specially crafted to be free of lactose, making them safe and enjoyable for individuals with lactose intolerance. By using plant milks such as almond, coconut, hazelnut and oat milk, we ensure that our chocolates aren’t just lactose free, but are also free from dairy while still rich in flavor and creaminess.
WHY CHOOSE LOVO CHOCOLATE?
- Diverse Plant Milk Options: Our chocolates are made using a variety of plant milks, each bringing its unique flavor and texture to the table. This not only ensures that our chocolates are lactose-free but also allows the flavor of the plant milk to add to the delicious taste and feel of your beloved milk chocolate.
- Health Benefits: Plant milks come with their own set of health benefits. They are typically lower in calories and saturated fats compared to cow's milk and are also packed with vitamins and minerals, making our chocolates a healthier alternative.
- Eco-Friendly Choice: One of the primary reasons we wanted to create a plant-based milk chocolate line was in part due to the reduced environmental impact. To produce plant milks, it requires fewer resources and generates lower greenhouse gas emissions. This contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly product.
- Inclusive Indulgence: Whether you're lactose intolerant, vegan, or simply looking for a delicious milk chocolate bar, LOVO Chocolate caters to all. Our commitment to using plant milks means that everyone can enjoy the luxurious taste of our chocolates without worrying about digestive issues.
