Legend has it that Panforte was carried by Legions to keep them fuelled on the Crusades.

Veloforte take inspiration from this Tuscan speciality. Their recipes are fiercely guarded secrets, but the result is tasty, natural, nutritious and digestible "real food" that keeps you going all day during endurance-based activities and help with recovery too. Think long rides, ultra-events, and days out on the hill...

Veloforte bites bags contain bite-sized chunks of the three following bars for that easy-to-access, ‘little and often’ refuelling without the faff wrappers. All the bars are naturally gluten, dairy, egg, additive, and preservative free.

• Classico: citrus, fruit, nuts, and spices – designed to keep you going all day.

• Ciocco: chewy dates, crunchy almond, and enriching cocoa – brilliant for performance and recovery

• Di Bosco: Red berries, almonds, pistachio, and rosemary – superb and powerful endurance nutrition
