Our ingredients
Quality management forms an integral part of the production process. Our ingredients are carefully selected, with attention to quality, origin and collaboration with our suppliers. Moreover, Penotti uses no colours, no preservatives, no artificial flavours and is GMO free.
Cocoa
Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa
Penotti buys Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa: sourced through a mass balance system which means the product may also contain non-certified cocoa. Rainforest Alliance is one of the largest sustainability programs for cocoa, coffee and tea in the world. Within the Rainforest Alliance Certified program farmers are trained to use cost efficient, environmentally and socially responsible farming practices. This way farmers become professional and responsible entrepreneurs and sustainable agricultural supply chains can be achieved.

Hazelnuts
Hazelnuts are an important ingredient in our chocolate hazelnut spreads. The best hazelnuts are selected to create a delicious and intensely smooth hazelnut flavour.
Hazelnuts are the fruits of the hazel which core is edible. The hazel grows in countries around the Mediterranean region.
The hazelnuts used in Penotti originate from Turkey and Italy. Hazelnuts are harvested between the start of August and the end of September.
Hazelnuts are an excellent source of vitamin E.
Sugar
We use different types of sugar in our products: beet sugar and refined cane sugar.
Quality control procedures, from the moment the sugar arrives at the factory right through the packaging stage of the finished spread, ensure the sugars used in our products meet the highest quality standards. We have established a close and long term relationship with our sugar suppliers. Our strict quality control system enables us to trace the origin of the sugar in our products
Vegetable oils
Penotti commits to 100% RSPO segregated palm oil
All Penotti products are produced with palm oil that is 100% certified sustainable and segregated according to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) supply chain.
RSPO is an international organisation whose focus is making sustainable palm oil sourcing a normal practice. The RSPO has developed a set of environmental and social criteria which companies must comply with in order to produce Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO). When they are properly applied, these criteria can help to minimize the negative impact of palm oil cultivation on the environment and communities in palm oil producing regions. They have committed to produce, source and/or use sustainable palm oil certified by the RSPO.
Penotti RSPO certified segregated palm oil : it is segregation that provides the tool to keep sustainable palm oil physically separated from non-sustainable palm oil and to trace it from the certified sustainable plantations to the production line. Check our progress at www.rspo.org

Vanilla
Duo Penotti is made with natural vanilla flavor. The vanilla in Duo Penotti makes the white spread extra special, giving it a smooth and delicious fresh flavor.
Milk
Our Penotti products are made with both skim milk and whole milk powder. We work with reliable suppliers who collect their milk directly from farmers to ensure product freshness and safety, and last but not least, a delicious creamy taste.
