Cumberland Packing Corporation-owned brand, In The Raw, is releasing a new organic hot agave syrup flavour in the country.

In The Raw's Organic Hot Agave offers a combination of 100% raw blue agave nectar blended with jalapeño peppers and chilli, providing a sweet and spicy flavour. The squeezable syrup is said to be perfect for foods and beverages, such as pizza and cocktails. The syrup is vegan-friendly and contains lower glycemic and calories.

Steven Eisenstadt, CEO of Cumberland Packing, said: "We recognised a need for a plant-based organic sweet and spicy alternative and knew the versatile Hot Agave would be the perfect addition to our growing family of In The Raw products. We can't wait to see the creative ways our consumers will experiment with Hot Agave, and are excited to continue expanding our product line to bring sweet solutions for people's evolving lifestyles as we've done for the last 50 years." Organic Hot Agave will be available to buy from 31 July at Amazon and US retailers.
