Lactalis Nestlé launches Aero Orange & Chocolate Mousse in the UK

UK – Lactalis Nestlé has unveiled a fresh addition to its mousse range with the launch of Aero Orange & Chocolate Mousse, now available in Tesco and Asda.

Delivering Aero’s trademark light and bubbly texture, the new mousse layers a smooth, orange-flavoured base with rich chocolate sauce to create a bold, refreshing twist on a classic favourite. 

At only 76 calories per pot, the dessert contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, appealing to health-conscious shoppers looking for lighter moments of indulgence.

The launch builds on Aero’s strong performance in chilled desserts, where it holds the title of the UK’s number one mousse brand. 

The full portfolio now includes Aero Milk Chocolate Mousse, Aero Peppermint & Chocolate Mousse, Aero Orange & Chocolate Mousse and Aero Choco Hazelnut Mousse. 

All varieties are HFSS compliant, made with Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa, and packed in fully recyclable PET pots, aligning with consumer expectations for responsibly sourced ingredients and sustainable packaging.

This vibrant flavour delivers a fresh citrus twist while keeping the iconic bubbly Aero experience that fans know and love. We’re confident it will drive excitement in the chilled aisle and reinforce Aero’s standout credentials in the category.”
