Many innovations emerge of unexpected outcomes when results are better than the original plan. That is what happened with Allegretto approach to sweeteners.
Looking for a more natural, less processed sugar alternative, we discovered sweeteners that improve chocolate flavor. They also add a notch up in health and nutrition when compared to commercial chocolates that use refined sugars.
The Route of Dates
A great pairing of fruits: Cacao & Dates. We use plain dried dates to sweeten our fine cacao beans. Dates add a mild sweetness with an extra hint of fruits producing a more intense chocolate bar. Minimally processed (just dried) dates add fiber and minerals and have a lower glycemic index than refined sugar.
The Route of Coconut Sugar
Coming from the sap of the coco palm tree it is a robust sweetener but does not carry a coconut flavor in chocolates. Coconut sugar makes sweet, silky bars with a caramel punch. It is less processed than refined sugar with a lower glycemic index.

Allegretto Dark 70% contains only fine cacao and the right amount of sweetener. Allegretto Milk is processed the same way and we just add high quality plant-based milk.
