The Undairy Co (creamy plant-based chocolate)
The Undairy Co was founded by a couple who were fed up of visiting ‘Sad Alley’ (the free-from aisle in supermarkets) to find chocolate, after he was diagnosed with a dairy allergy. After spending years trying to find tasty dairy-free chocolate, they gave up and decided to make their own.
Made in small batches in Lincolnshire, this brand is ideal if you like the taste of dairy-milk chocolate, but without the dairy (this brand also has less sugar).
It’s best to avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing. Keep chocolate (and other ingredients like dried fruits and nuts) away from pets.
The recipe for this chocolate took two years to master. And once it went on sale, it became so popular, that the couple quit their jobs and sold their house, to build a chocolate factory!
The range includes:
- Original Creamy
- Fruit & Nut
- Chunky Nut
- Salted Caramel
- Gooey Hazelnut
- Turkish Delight
- Honeycomb
- Chocolate Orange
- Dark Ginger or Orange
Why Choose Dairy-Free Chocolate?
Most dairy (especially in processed foods) is not from free-range cows, but from the factory-farming industry, where baby calves are shot dead soon after birth, due to being of no financial use. Cows and their calves have incredibly strong relationships, staying together for months after birth.
Many people therefore choose dairy-free for animal welfare reasons. Others are dairy-free due to allergies, and some even find that giving up dairy is good to heal sinus and/or skin problems.
You can easily get calcium from plant-based foods like green leafy veggies (check medications due to vitamin K), pulses, nuts and seeds.
