Fugar and WWF are bound by a global commitment: respect and love for nature. WWF creates protected oasis to safeguard the pandas’ life and other endangered animal species.
Fugar has always been synonymous with gelato and pastry ingredients made with natural ingredients, in line with the Italian artisanal tradition.
In 2017 the company joined with WWF Italy to support the Oasis System project, the network of over 100 protected areas created and managed by the international organization.
Because, as Fugar points out, ethics are about actions, not words.
Motivated by this partnership, Fugar has developed the new line of “Panda Flavours,” launching two new exclusive tastes: Lemon Bamboo and Lampon Bamboo (Raspberry flavour). As their names suggest, the two mixes are made with bamboo fibre, an ingredient that is distinguished by its several properties and flexibility.
This white powder naturally extracted from the bamboo plant is able to absorb high amounts of water and retain moisture. lt improves gelato structure and texture, adding more creaminess and scoopability. From a nutritional point of view, it reduces fat and calories without affecting the taste. Together with bamboo fibre, the new Lemon Bamboo and Lampon Bamboo products are made with dehydrated baobab pulp. Moreover, inulin and alpha-cyclodextrin are used in place of traditional thickeners.
Following this  “green” line, Fugar has renounced the use of artificial flavours and synthetic colourings: in Lemon Bamboo there is no trace of colourings, while Lampon Bamboo contains only natural red beet colouring.
Both products are designed to make gelato artisans’ life easier: all they have to do is add water and élvi fruit to the powdered mix.
