The majority of sugars and sweets on the market in the United States contain sugars that are refined using animal products. According to Jo Stepaniak of VegSource, more than half of the sugar cane refineries in the U.S. use charcoal made from animals bones in the filtration process. Sugar is so commonly refined with the use of bone char because it makes the sugar colorless, or white.
Rose City Chocolatier confirmed its guarantee today that their line of vegan chocolates contain no animal products in the processing of the sugar used. Using only beet sugars and all natural products, Rose City’s fine, handmade, vegan Belgian chocolates are created with only the finest ingredients in each and every piece. Vegans can delight in Rose City’s commitment to offering chocolates made from all natural, fresh ingredients, and their exquisite vegan line is not one to be underestimated.
Their new Vegan Peanut Butter Truffles marry premium 60% dark chocolate with all-natural peanut butter. The vegan hazelnut selection provides a deliciously creamy chocolate with the toasted flavor of hazelnut. Rose City’s entire selection of chocolates is made without the use of hydrogenated oils, stabilizers, artificial flavors or animal products of any kind, while still maintaining flavor and freshness.
Each chocolate is hand created by a small, family owned chocolatier in northern Belgium that takes pride in their work, putting extreme care into creating each chocolate the old fashioned way. It’s their high quality chocolates that inspired owner Gene Bohensky to open Rose City Chocolatier in Boonton, New Jersey.
“I had never tasted anything so fresh,” states Rose City owner Gene Bohensky, “and I wondered why such chocolates were never found in the United States.”
Rose City offers custom, personalized packaging of their vegan chocolates, which are popular for weddings, showers or corporate gift giving. Packaging can include a bride and groom’s name, date of the event, a corporate logo, or other information as needed. Customers can select each chocolate they’d like provided in their box, or Rose City can offer a variety of chocolates for a spectacular flavor sampling. Every box contains a photo listing of the shapes and flavors of each of the chocolates.
