Incredo for North American food companies – is selling the spreads
direct to consumer in a two-jar bundle (Hazelnut Cocoa and Dark Cocoa Salted Caramel).
The hazelnut cocoa spread - which offers 30% of the daily recommended fiber intake via chicory root fiber - contains 8g added sugar (vs 19g for Nutella hazelnut spread) and 8g fiber (vs 1g for Nutella) and is designed to show consumers “
just how delicious a product made with Incredo sugar can be, and validate that taste, texture, and sweetness does not have to mean compromising on nutrition,” DouxMatok VP Sales North America Lorraine Niba told FoodNavigator-USA.

DouxMatok, a Petah Tikva, Israel-based food-tech company that says it is able to cut sugar levels in foods without affecting their taste, on Tuesday started sales of a hazelnut cocoa spread and a dark-cocoa salted caramel spread in what marks a first offering of its low-sugar brand directly to US consumers.
The Israeli startup, founded by now-102-year-old Prof. Avraham Baniel and his son Eran, developed technology that it claims is able to deliver sugar directly to the mouth’s sweet taste buds. In this way, food can contain 30% to 50% less sugar than when made with original recipes, but still provide the same sweet taste, texture and feeling.
