Packaging: The product is sold in a resealable can with a net weight of 325 g, allowing for longer storage and easy dosing.

Taste and Characteristics:

• Taste: Offers the unmistakable, traditional taste of classic Cola Cao, with a slight hint of cocoa and malt. The sweetness is achieved through sweeteners, without added sugar.

• Texture: The powder is designed to dissolve well in milk, often being finer than the original version. Traditionally, Cola Cao can form a slight foam when stirred.

• Target group: Ideal for anyone looking to reduce their consumption of added sugar, including individuals following a low-sugar diet.

Ingredients (main components): The formulation contains the typical Cola Cao elements, but replaces sugar with sweeteners:

• Natural defatted cocoa (often approx. 42%)

• Maltodextrin

• Cereal cream/cola malt cream (e.g., from wheat flour and barley malt extract)

• Sweeteners (such as acesulfame K and sucralose)

• Dietary fiber

• Minerals (such as calcium and phosphorus)

Preparation: Cola Cao Cero is traditionally prepared by simply stirring it into milk:

1. Add a recommended amount of powder (e.g., 7.5 g) to a cup.

2. Add warm or cold milk (e.g., 150 ml, skim milk often recommended).

3. Stir and enjoy.

Nutritional information (per 100 g powder): As it has no added sugar, it contains significantly less sugar than the original version, with the remaining carbohydrates mainly coming from maltodextrin. It also provides cocoa-typical dietary fiber and added minerals (calcium and phosphorus).

Important: The product contains sweeteners and usually a source of phenylalanine.
