OWN PREPARATION AT THE ORGANIC PIONEER 

With a lot of experience and care

With a lot of love bionella is produced by the organic pioneer Rapunzel Naturkost itself in the south of Germany.

Since 1974, the family-owned company has been creating many sweet creams and nut butters in particular - always 100% organic, with natural ingredients, without flavors, artificial additives nor cheap substitutes. Product quality is the top priority for the organic manufacturer and it also goes well beyond the requirements of the EU organic regulation.

This means that all ingredients are 100% certified organic, including the expensive vanilla spice in bionella - and not just 95%, as required by law. The long experience, the special organic quality as well as the careful and environmentally friendly production can be definitely tasted!
Like many young founders and startups today, Rapunzel once started very small. Almost 50 years later, the company now employs over 500 people and produces around 500 products.

Rapunzel Naturkost is committed not only to organic farming but also to issues such as fair trade, sustainability and organic seed breeding.

Behind bionella is the desire to offer everyone an "honest" nut nougat cream. A product that tastes like a typical nut nougat cream and that is good for people and nature at the same time. That is why bionella is organic, fair and vegan.

WHY IS BIONELLA SO YUMMY?

First of all, the quality of the individual ingredients is crucial. All raw materials are 100% organic - analyzed and certified by an internal and external laboratory. Next comes the roasting of the hazelnuts, which gives them a delicious aroma. Roasting is done with infrared light and this is particularly gentle - also thanks to the use of CO2 neutral electricity.
In the next step, the nuts are finely ground and gently mixed with the other organic ingredients, i.e. cocoa, fat, sugar, bourbon vanilla, sweet lupine flour. That's all that's needed to make the delicious nut nougat cream. It comes completely without emulsifiers, stabilizers, artificial flavors or other frills - pure indulgence guaranteed.
