Praline-maker Van Coillie switches to Barry Callebaut`s Quality Partner Program

Barry Callebaut announced that praline-maker Van Coillie, which has been a company customer since 1976, has switched its production to products of Barry Callebaut's unique Quality Partner Program (QPP). QPP is a long-term sustainability program, aimed at assisting cocoa farmers in Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon by means of trainings and support, in order to help improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities, as well as the quality of the cocoa. Van Collie has used top quality cocoa beans, premium butter and cream for its Belgian top quality chocolates for more than 30 years. Only exceptional standards are good enough for both Barry Callebaut and Van Coillie: luxury, premium raw materials, creative craftsmen, knowledge, experience, and passion, among others.

"We are delighted that Van Coillie, as a loyal customer, has decided to become part of our Quality Partner Program by switching to QPP cocoa beans. This will allow end-consumers to buy chocolate made with sustainable cocoa and thus support the future of quality cocoa," says Sofie de Lathouwer, Marketing Director Food Manufacturers Western Europe at Barry Callebaut.
