Cavalier

Not that far from us, is a company called Cavalier. No, they do not sell Cavalier dogs. Cavalier is a young, local company, founded in 1996, in Eeklo (between Ghent and Bruges). Owned by the Belgian family Verdegem - De Ruyter with tradition in healthy food, Cavalier develops, produces and distributes uniquely no sugar added chocolate and biscuits. Cavalier looks for the most natural ingredients with care for people (from cocoa farmers to the consumers) and our planet.

Cavalier aims to develop, produce and distribute the most delicious of the healthiest chocolate, to provide the customer a guiltless moment of joy.
Only no sugar added: chocolate bars, tablets, sea shells (don't you love those?), chocolates (pralines), neapolitans, seasonal chocolate products (easter eggs f.i.), chocolate spread, snacks, biscuits..

You just have to taste the delicate chocolate to appreciate it. And after all: who wouldn't want to indulge and enjoy guilt free chocolate? To be recommended. Everyone who is trying to live a healthy life as well as anyone with diabetes should have some Cavalier chocolate in reach, as a special and delicious treat.

Cavalier chocolates were sweetened with maltitol and that was just fine. However, Cavalier has found a way to replace maltitol by stevia, that is much more natural and healthier. Stevia is a natural product, that found its origin in Paraguay. Belgium was late in discovering this sweetener, although the Japanese have been convinced for many years. Stevia contributes to improved dental hygiene and increases insulin efficiency. This type of sweetener is ideal for anyone who wants to cut back on their sugar intake but doesn't want to give up on having delicious chocolate. Looking forward to tasting this new chocolate!!
