Colouring

Carletti chocolate lentils are available in a wide range of standard and special colours. Whether you wish to use colours from nature, natural colours with E-numbers or artificial colours, we will help you find the best solution according to your standards and requirements.

Carletti is one of the pioneers in the new game of food colouring – food products are naturally coloured, so the colour can be declared as an ingredient, not an additive. Today the food colouring colours are available for our mini and medium chocolate lentils as well as for Broken Cuties. With this type of colour, you can meet the trend and increasing demand for natural ingredients.

Types of lentils

Lentils are produced in three steps. The centre is made from either milk chocolate, dark chocolate or a compound. It is then subjected to the coating process, where rice starch is added, and finally the colour is applied.

We offer a wide range of chocolate lentils in various sizes, so you can find the perfect option to suit your needs. Our selection includes the tiny Micro lentils, which are delicate and refined, followed by the slightly larger Mini size, which remains light and easy to enjoy. Next are the Medium (slim) lentils, an elegant mid-sized option, while the Medium (chubby) version offers a more substantial and robust experience with added height. Finally, our largest option, Mega, delivers maximum chocolate indulgence in every bite. No matter which size you choose, you’ll always enjoy the same delicious taste and quality we’re known for.

Main applications

We work in close cooperation with customers to develop unique solutions for almost any application.

Chocolate lentils offer a wide range of opportunities for applications. They can be used as an ingredient in baked goods such as cookies, muffins, and cakes or as vibrant decorations that ensure a consistent and appealing appearance. In dairy products like ice cream and desserts, they add both crunch and visual appeal, while they are equally well-suited for chocolate products such as bars or seasonal campaigns. Additionally, they are ideal for snack mixes with nuts and dried fruits or as part of a pick & mix range. Chocolate lentils add value and variety, enhancing any product with their quality and colourful appearance.

"We are an ice cream manufacturer and faced the challenge of finding a solution to ensure the lentils in our ice creams retained their shape and colour. By switching to Carletti’s fat-coated mini lentils, we have overcome this issue, and our ice cream now looks far more appealing."
- Jacob from Manchester

"We are a bakery manufacturer, constantly exploring ways to upgrade our product line. To expand our offerings with more seasonal products, we have incorporated Carletti’s mono-colour lentils. For example, we use orange and black lentils for Halloween and red and green lentils for Christmas, adding a festive touch to our products."
