Veloforte Di Bosco is a natural energy bar made with red berries, almonds and pistachios. Veloforte bakes it from real ingredients, with no synthetic or artificial ones, and balances it for endurance: dual-source carbohydrates (glucose and fructose) for steady energy and plant protein in an 8:1 carb-to-protein ratio.
It is soft and chewy, so it is easy to eat on the move, whether that is the second hour of a long ride at Al Qudra, a Hatta climb or a long run before the heat builds. Di Bosco has won at the Great Taste Awards, and it is vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free.
Good to know before you order
- Contains nuts: almonds and pistachios. Not suitable for people with nut or peanut allergies. Veloforte removes fruit stones and nut shells, but there may be the occasional fragment.
- Diet: vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and caffeine-free.
- One bar, 62 g: this listing is a single 62 g bar.
- Storage: keep it somewhere cool and dry. In a UAE summer, don’t leave it in a hot car.

What makes it work
Real ingredients
Berries, cherries, almonds and pistachios with gram flour, brown rice syrup and a little lemon, baked rather than processed.
Dual-source carbs
Glucose and fructose for energy that releases steadily, with plant protein to start your recovery.
Berries and pistachios
Cranberries, sour cherries, raisins and dates with almonds and pistachios: Veloforte’s red berries and pistachios flavour.
When to eat it
Veloforte suggests a bar 1 to 2 hours before you start, then one every 30 to 60 minutes through a long, steady effort. Chewing takes time, so eat it on a flat, a climb or a natural lull rather than in the middle of a hard effort. For something smaller between bars, look at the Veloforte Fresco Energy Chews.
Who it is for
- Cyclists on long weekend rides and sportives
- Runners, triathletes and hikers who prefer real food to gels
- Anyone who wants a vegan, gluten-free energy bar

Nutrition per 100 g is Veloforte’s. Per-bar carbohydrate and protein are for the 62 g bar. Energy per bar is not shown because the published figures disagree. Veloforte’s website now lists a 55 g bar of the same recipe; this listing is the 62 g bar (EAN 5060562190019).
FAQ
Does it contain nuts?
Yes. Di Bosco contains almonds and pistachios and is not suitable for people with nut or peanut allergies. There may be the occasional fragment of fruit stone or nut shell.
Is it vegan and gluten-free?
Yes. Veloforte lists Di Bosco as vegan and gluten-free, and its bars are dairy-free and caffeine-free.
How much carbohydrate is in one bar?
About 40 g per 62 g bar (65 g per 100 g), from a mix of glucose and fructose, plus about 5 g of plant protein.
When should I eat it?
1 to 2 hours before you start, then every 30 to 60 minutes during a long, steady effort, at a point where you can chew comfortably.
Is this the same bar as on Veloforte’s website?
It is the same Di Bosco recipe. This listing is the 62 g bar (EAN 5060562190019); Veloforte’s website currently lists a 55 g bar, so its per-bar figures are slightly lower.
How should I store it?
In a cool, dry place. Veloforte says the bars last 12 months stored that way. Questions? Message us on WhatsApp +971 50 254 5363 or email info@bikeera.com.
