Italy’s Coppola Foods-owned brand Fabalous has expanded its line of organic chocolate spreads that are made with chickpeas, with the introduction of two new varieties.

Orange Hazelnut & Cocoa and Crunchy Hazelnut & Cocoa have joined the brand’s original Organic Hazelnut & Cocoa spread – which Fabalous claims was the first hazelnut-chocolate spread to use chickpeas as the primary ingredient (32%).

Each 200g jar contains an average of 128 dried chickpeas and eight shelled hazelnuts. The spreads also switch out palm oil for sunflower oil and cocoa butter.

The Italian brand says its spreads offer an “indulgent, intense chocolatey flavour; a smooth and silky texture; the unique draw of protein and fibre-rich chickpeas and reduced sugar”.

The trio of plant-based spreads are available now online and from Planet Organic for an RRP of £4.99 per jar, and will be rolling out further via delis, cafés and other retailers across the UK.
