Guittard Chocolate Company, the 150+ year-old San Francisco-based chocolate maker, is excited to announce its dairy-free kosher pareve processing capabilities and its new dairy-free product line, which will include three retail baking chips—Semisweet Chocolate Chips, Extra Dark Chocolate Chips, Akoma Organic Extra Semisweet Chocolate Chips—as well as dairy-free kosher pareve options within the company’s industrial line. These newly dairy-free retail products will make their debut on shelves beginning June 2023. All will be produced on the company’s dedicated dairy-free line at their Fairfield CA facility with the aim of providing consumers with safety and choice in their chocolate.

“Guittard is already beloved for its high-quality baking staples, and shifting some of our most requested products to dairy-free will continue to bolster trust and usability with allergen-conscious consumers,” says Gary Guittard, CEO of Guittard Chocolate. The introduction of these products expands diverse benefits for consumers, industrial customers and professionals looking for allergen-friendly and kosher pareve options.
