The first Spanish chocolate celebrates its 50th anniversary by updating its recipe to eliminate palm oil and offering new flavours in a new box design 

MADRID, Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Trapa is one of the largest Spanish chocolate companies and one of the country's most recognised and charismatic brands. Founded in 1891 by the Trappist monks of the San Isidro de Dueñas monastery (Palencia) and under new ownership since 2013 resulting in a renewal and boost for the company thanks to an investment of 30 million euros  in machinery, R&D and human resources. The new direction is based on three targets: Innovation, style and social and environmental conscience. This has resulted in new products and the updating of existing ones, in line with consumer trends and current quality standards.

THE FIRST SPANISH CHOCOLATES

The origin of Trapa chocolates dates back to 1891; in December of that year, a group of Cistercian monks belonging to the Trappist order moved to the San Isidro de Dueñas monastery in Palencia. Considered to be one of the first chocolate factories in Spain, the company was incorporated in 1964 in the same location, once the monastic community decided to sell the factory together with the ancient recipes.

"Cortados" were born in Spain in 1969, the first chocolates developed in Spain. Square in shape and produced with two thin layers of praline and chocolate with crunchy hazelnut pieces, they are Trapa's flagship product, together with the mythical "Bombonísimos", a selection of large chocolates. With this new era that began at Trapa six years ago, its products' recipes have been modified to adapt to present times: now, they do not contain gluten, hydrogenated fats, trans fatty acids or palm oil, instead using other vegetable oils (cocoa butter, olive oil and sunflower oil).

For its 50th anniversary, Trapa presents its "Cortados" in four packs with an updated design: Clásicos (hazelnut, coffee, orange and the new lemon), Creación (hazelnut, pistachio, raspberry and the new caramel), Noir (70% cocoa) and Stevia (hazelnut, dark and forest fruits).
