Comprital has introduced Pure Vegan, a line which includes three vegan bases, all clean label and naturally lactose-free.
Comprital provides ice cream and pastry operators with a wider range of products to meet the growing demand of vegan and lactose-intolerant consumers. According to research by Renub Research, the global vegan ice cream market is expected to reach $1.056.71m by 2032, with an annual growth rate of 4.60% from 2024 to 2032.
The Pure Vegan line, developed from natural ingredients such as cane sugar and fibres including chicory, citrus, and bamboo, as well as being free from artificial flavours, was created by Comprital’s R&D team with the premise that both vegan consumers and those with lactose intolerance should not have to compromise on taste. For this reason, the line comprises three technically different bases to ensure an authentic and satisfying experience that is equitable to traditional ice cream.
Specifically, Pure Vegan includes: PURE VEGAN P.Z., a vegan base designed to be flavoured with only sugar pastes; PURE VEGAN P.G., a vegan base designed to be flavoured with only fat pastes; and PURE VEGAN CHOCOLATE, a vegan base with high percentages of chocolate powder and low-fat cocoa powder.
“The demand for vegan products is becoming increasingly significant in our sector: many people are choosing to adopt a vegan diet for reasons ranging from environmental sustainability to ethics all the way personal health issues, including lactose intolerance,” said Adriano Bert, general manager of Comprital. “Comprital has always recognised the importance of this market segment, and for this reason, our Research and Development team is constantly working on developing plant-based alternatives and clean label products. Our Pure Vegan line represents an important milestone in this exciting journey, which will continue thanks to the determination and professionalism of our entire team to offer consumers quality products, lactose-free and developed from natural ingredients.”
With a range of over 160 solutions designed to produce ice cream free of any animal-derived ingredients, most of Comprital’s vegan offerings are VEGANOK certified — a European standard that guarantees consumers the total absence of animal derivatives in products and adherence to strict ethical standards — to provide producers and end consumers with vegan offerings that resemble traditional craftsmanship and are suitable also for those who are lactose intolerant.
