“With the addition of four new Bensdorp powders, we are completing our range of premium brown and red powders,” said Hugo Van der Goes, vice-president of cocoa for Barry Callebaut North America. “These domestically produced Bensdorp powders have proven to be excellent options for both existing applications and new product introductions, especially in beverage, bakery and dairy.
