Dolcedi’

Dolcedì’ is a new, all-natural liquid sweetener that’s made from 100% organic apples and is a low-glycemic* alternative to sugar and other sweeteners.

With 25% fewer calories than table sugar, Rigoni di Asiago Dolcedì’ is made from the concentrated and filtered sugar extracted from organic apples. It is certified USDA organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, and STAR-KOSHER.

Dolcedì’ can be used any way you would use traditional table sugar or honey and in the same proportions; one teaspoon of sugar equals one teaspoon of Dolcedì’. Its neutral flavor enhances the taste of food and drinks without altering them. Dolcedì’ is also highly soluble in both cold and hot drinks and can be enjoyed with pancakes, on yogurt, in fruit salad, and in baking.

 

*Dolcedì’, with a GI value of 22.5**, is suitable for those who want to eat well, following a balanced diet for a healthy lifestyle.
**GI = 22.5 +/- 5, determined as set out by the standardized method (ISO 26642:2010(E); FAO/ WHO Expert Consultation 1998; Wolever et al 2008.

 Being a Diabetic who cannot have sugar and hates artificial sweeteners, I was excited to get Dolcedi Low Glycemic Sweetener From Apples by Rigoni di Asiago.  The first time I tried it I just put a dot of Dolcedi on my fingertip to taste it just as it is.  I was very happy with it right away.  A nice light sweet flavor with no aftertaste.

 I then used it in my morning coffee and was impressed with the taste and natural sweetness.  I really like that there is no bitterness or aftertaste like artificial sweeteners have. I also like that I do not need to use very much in the beverages I want to sweeten a little.

 I used Dolcedi in my holiday eggnog and was very pleased with the results.  No one even noticed that I replaced sugar with Dolcedi.  That is really saying something because my family can always tell when I use a sugar substitute. I kept that secret to myself and smiled.

 I think Dolcedi low glycemic sweetener from apples is a fabulous natural organic substitute for sugar. I recommend that you set it out for your guests during the holidays and use it at home and in the office everyday!  This would make a nice stocking stuffer for anyone who sweetens their beverages.  I recommend it.
