What does rPET mean?

RPET stands for recycled plastic. L’rPET is the lightest packaging material that can be used for the kind of products we develop. The lighter the packaging, the lower theCO2 impact during transport and distribution of the product, whether it travels on a road transport or by delivery via zero-emission bicycles. Heaven uses rPET preformed, which reduces the impact on the weight of packaging transported before the product is manufactured. It also provides security for the product by being stable and not fragile

Why did you choose rPET bottles?

Sustainability plays an important role among the core values of heaven, both in terms of recipe ingredients and the packaging material used to protect the product. The choice of bottles in rPET colorless (50% recycled) supports our will to strike a balance between food waste, safety, quality, recycling e convenience.

Have you thought about plant-based plastics?


The goal of
heaven

Yes, product packaging can be 100% recycled. However, we advise you to check which container they should be thrown into so that they are recycled in the right recycling scheme designed by your municipality. Heaven uses caps made of HDPE, which is high-density polyethylene. It is recyclable and should be recycled along with the bottle.

È

a soluble fiber, a polysaccharide produced by fermentation of the culture of the

sphingomonas
elodea
 found in plants, including water lilies. After the fermentation process, it is dried, ground e pulverized. Heaven uses rubber from gellan to prevent coagulation of fats and proteins and ., at the same time, to help stabilize added nutrients (such as calcium) keeping them well mixed and distributed.

What is canola oil?

We add canola oil (non-GMO) to our products to achieve the desired nutritional fat content and texture for ouri productsi. The choice of canola oil there allows Of balancing sustainability, taste and nutritional health. Compared to other vegetable oils, it contains less saturated fat and has a neutral taste that lets the flavor of our oats stand out. Canola oil is generally considered a “healthy” oil because it is very low in saturated fat. It contains a significant level of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, as well as significant amounts of phytosterols (about 0.9 percent by weight) that reduce cholesterol absorption in the body. Of course, these benefits come on a small scale.

Are there any added vitamins?

Vitamins B12, B2 and D are added within our drinks in order to provide the same nutrients as the latte vaccine and really be plant-based substitutes. The only milk that does not contain added vitamins is heaven bartender because they would alter the consistency and it would be difficult to get foam.

How do you store the products?

For conservation information, readi the instructions provided on the product packaging.

Should I store the products in the refrigerator?

No, possono essere conservati a temperatura ambiente in un luogo preferibilmente fresco e asciutto. Per ottenere la migliore esperienza in termini di qualità e soprattutto gusto, però, ti consigliamo di conservare qualsiasi prodotto heaven in frigorifero prima dell’uso.

How long can they stay open?

After opening, you can store the products in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

At what temperature should I store them once opened?

The ideal temperature is between 2°C and 8°C.

Can I consume the products after the expiration date?

The date listed on the packaging of each product is about quality, not safety. It is a “preferably by.” Once the date has passed, it does not mean that the food will be harmful or harmful, but it may begin to lose flavor and texture. It is important to remember that the date will only be consistent with the date listed if the product is stored according to the instructions on the label. Consumption of the product after the expiration date should be evaluated on individual decision.

Is the deposit at the bottom of the bottle normal?

This is normal: there are vitamins and minerals in our drinks, which naturally tend to settle to the bottom over time. In the Breakfast version, the phenomenon is also due to the cinnamon powder, although it is ground very finely.

If I find lumps inside the bottle?

If lumps should be present, consumption is perfectly safe within the expiration date. The phenomenon may be due to the spontaneous aggregation of proteins on the surface, which is easily “solved” by shaking the bottle well so as to bring them back into suspension.

Plant-based alternative to yogurt

Di cosa è fatto questo sostituto allo yogurt vegetale? (ingredienti + processo)

Le nostre alternative allo yogurt sono realizzate con avena, acqua, sale, fermenti lattici e altri ingredienti usati per migliorare la consistenza come amido di tapioca, gomma di gellano e pectina. Il processo segue quello dei tradizionali yogurt lattici: gli ingredienti vengono miscelati, pastorizzati per sicurezza alimentare e inoculati con gli fermenti. Durante la fermentazione, i fermenti lattici metabolizzano gli zuccheri naturalmente presenti nell’avena, acidificando l’alternativa allo yogurt e migliorandone la consistenza. Per le varianti alla frutta con Mango e Mirtillo, vengono aggiunti altri ingredienti per garantire che i pezzi di frutta rimangano integri e nelle migliori condizioni fino al consumo.

Why eat Oat Yogurt?

Lo yogurt d’avena ti dà energia e una sensazione di pienezza che alimenta davvero il corpo. Inoltre, l’alto contenuto di fibre solubili in questo yogurt insieme ai probiotici aiuta a migliorare la digestione e il tasso di metabolismo nel corpo.

Can the term “vegetable yogurt” be used?

  • As we read in this extract from an article published in “Il Fatto Quotidiano”: “The Court of Justice of the European Union has established that purely vegetable products cannot be marketed with names such as “milk”, “milk cream or cream”, “butter”, “cheese” and “yogurt”, because this name is reserved for products of animal origin by Community law. For judges, the ban also applies if these names are completed by explanatory or descriptive indications, which indicate the vegetal origin of the product in question.”
  • Source: Il Fatto Quotidiano – La Corte di Justice: “If it is vegan it cannot be called milk or even butter or cream”: https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2017/06/14/la-corte-di-giustizia -if-it-is-vegan-you-can’t-call-milk-or-even-butter-or-cream/3658667/
  • However, there is still a great debate going on about this topic in many other non-European countries. Several dairy producers are fighting this, arguing that it would be misleading for consumers to use such words for plant-based products, given that milk, cheeses and yogurts are normally of animal origin .
  • This fact could also be seen as a symptom of the change that the sector is facing in recent years. New products have already been launched on the market, others are being born and probably also need a new name.

How is the taste and texture?

Our plain yogurt has a very mild, neutral oat flavor, a rich, creamy texture and balanced acidity. It’s thicker than European yogurt but not as thick as Greek yogurt, so it should stick to the spoon. We think it tastes good enough to eat on its own, but it also pairs great with fresh fruit flavors.

Packaging

Our yogurt alternatives are packaged in plastic jars with aluminum lids. All additional product information is printed directly on the outer carton. This is the best packaging solution we have found so far, as all packaging materials can be separated and easily recycled by the Italian recycling system.

Management of product waste that occurs during the production process.

Naturally we try to reduce the amount of waste to a minimum by optimizing all phases of yoghurt production. Regardless, we will still end up with some waste of the final product or ingredients we use. Instead of throwing it away, all the waste is used to feed the pig farms near the plant.

On the other hand, whenever we have a final product left over, we never throw it away, we always donate the products to those in need or through platforms like “Too Good to Go”.
