Do you love chocolate but have lactose intolerance? No worries, because you can still enjoy your favorite treat. Lactose-free chocolate can be just as delicious as other varieties. There is a lactose-free TCHO product for everyone, from vegan chocolate bars to quality baking chocolate. Learn more about lactose-free chocolate and how to choose the best products.
What Is Lactose?
Lactose is a sugar found naturally in cow’s milk. Most people can digest it, but others do not have enough of the enzyme lactase in their small intestines. As the undigested lactose sugars reach the large intestine, the lactose intolerant person experiences digestive distress symptoms.
Why Some Chocolate Is Lactose-Free
There are many reasons why chocolate is lactose-free. Some products are made especially for lactose-intolerant individuals. Other chocolate is lactose-free because it doesn’t contain milk products. TCHO dark chocolate bars are an example of lactose-free chocolate made with organic cacao and cocoa butter.
Take a bite of our Holy Fudge or Born Fruity dark chocolate bars to taste chocolate from world-renowned cacao farms. These bars are lactose-free because they are 100% plant-based, dairy-free products. Here at TCHO, we even make oat milk chocolate. If you like milk chocolate flavor, you can still enjoy creamy milk chocolate without the cow’s milk.
Our baking chocolate is also lactose-free. Use our Sweet & Sassy 66% or Hella Dark 81% to make desserts and treats. Each time you use them, you’re baking plant-based or vegan. At TCHO, our vegan chocolate is safe for those who can’t consume lactose. Indulge in the flavors you love without guilt or worry.

When to Choose Lactose-Free Chocolate
When is it best to choose lactose-free chocolate? The most important reason to eat it is if you have lactose intolerance. With lactose-free chocolate, you’ll save yourself from the digestive symptoms that come with the inability to digest lactose. Many kinds of lactose-free chocolate do not contain cow’s milk at all.
Check the ingredients label to be sure there are no traces of milk products. If the chocolate is dairy-free, you can eat it even if you’re vegan or have a dairy allergy.
