What’s a better combination than hazelnuts and chocolate?
All rejoice chocolate lovers—Whittaker’s new flavour, Hazella, is ready to hit the shelves permanently nationwide from Monday, 26th of September.
Wrapped around in Whittaker’s classic golden foils, Hazella contains a luxurious, smooth hazelnut gianduja—a divine blend of 30% hazelnuts and chocolates— a perfect combination for anyone to enjoy. The delicate milk chocolate itself is 33% cocoa, being Whittaker’s classic Creamy Milk chocolate. The overall result is indulgent, yet not overly rich—making the perfect bite each time.
“With the harmonious balance between the delicious gianduja filling and generous Whittaker’s classic Creamy Milk chocolate shell, we think Hazella is simply perfection wrapped in perfection,” says Whittaker’s Product Development Manager, Megan Sinclair.
This classic combination will be upscaled with Whittaker’s touch, sourced from using only the highest quality ingredients. Transparency in Whittaker’s ingredient sourcing and business activities will allow you to indulge, guilt-free, in their luxurious indulgences.
What sets apart Whittaker’s hazelnut creation from other brands is of course the chocolate itself. The silky hazelnut gianduja centre is crafted with new, effective technological equipment that perfectly blends together ingredients without needing palm oil as a filling stabiliser. You will be able to taste the smoothness yourself. The ratio of chocolate to hazelnuts is also increased, making sure that the flavour is not compromised.
The use, (or the overuse), of palm oil, has increasingly become an environmental concern for many as the state of our natural habits dwindles. Whittaker’s entire chocolate range is palm oil-free, a dedication to both the environment and pleasing consumers with continuous quality. Hazella is also Rainforest Alliance Certified, being born from raw, Ghanaian cocoa beans to its final product in Porirua.
So go taste the difference yourself. Whether as an afternoon snack, dessert delight or a brownie addition, Hazella is versatile, decadent, and an honest representation of Whittaker’s honour to the environment.
Hazella will be a permanent addition to Whittaker’s core range and is available in a classic 250g block, available in stores nationwide from Monday 26 September 2022.
