Confectionery and ice cream shops are experiencing a small revolution....

There is an exponential growth in the desire and need to reduce the consumption of traditional sugar, without renouncing goodness.

In response to an increasingly health and wellness-conscious market, new sweetening, natural and low-calorie solutions are increasingly emerging.

Here are 4 alternatives to traditional sugar

  • Stevia: 300 times sweeter than sugar, zero calories
  • Erythritol: natural sugar alcohol, with zero glycaemic index
  • Agave syrup, honey and dates: with a rich flavour profile, perfect for artisanal and organic recipes
  • Sucralose: 600 times sweeter than sugar, often used in diet products

These alternatives are increasingly finding their way into common and professional use, not only to meet new customer demands, but also to offer new sensory and taste experiences.
