Cape Town-based brand okja, creators of the delicious, ultra creamy oat m*lk have just added a new delicacy that chocolate lovers have to try! Introducing okja’s new Chocolate Hazelnut Spread. The best part? It’s vegan and ‘clean’!
We know that choccie on toast for breakfast has a bad rep. That’s only because mainstream brands pack their products with processed sugar — and in the chocolate hazelnut spread world — tons of palm oil. In 2021, the current Chocolate Hazelnut Spreads on offer have more palm oil in them than hazelnuts.
okja to the rescue!
The brand has taken a dive into all things good when it comes to chocolate spread. No hidden shenanigans here. okja, the clean label plant-based food and beverage brand from Cape Town is saving the day with their latest offering. Take my word for it, it’s delicious, writes Cape {town} Etc’s Robyn Simpson.
The brand, launched in 2019 by serial founders, Rui Esteves and David Chait, has garnered a cult following amongst Gen Z and Millennials with its iconic range of oat milks in bright and bold packaging. Visit any popular coffee shop or deli in Cape Town CBD and it’ll be hard to miss their signature blue cartons lined across countertops and shelves.
Just one scroll through their (almost 300) reviews on Takealot, and you’ll soon find out that people really really love their stuff – and their chocolate spread promises to be no different.
Glancing at the label, one immediately notices the lack of palm oil – a controversial ingredient in most other chocolate hazelnut spreads available. It also of course contains no dairy or flavourings.
Swing by your local baker and grab a warm, freshly baked croissant or slice of sourdough, your pot of Chocolate Hazelnut spread from okja, your best friend or a stranger, sit down and enjoy one…two…five bites of pure chocolatey, nutty, goodness.
Breakfast should never be complicated, but always delicious. Thanks to okja, we’re sorted! So go ahead, grab a spoonful without having to worry about what nasty ingredients might be lurking in your jar.
okja Chocolate Hazelnut Spread is available from Takealot, selected SPAR stores, Faithful to Nature, as well as popular delis such as Giovannis in Sea Point. It is also available from the okja café in Camps Bay. The goodness goes between R69.99 and R74.99.
