*SolMaya Brands has launched a new line of Latin-flavoured, ready to drink dairy beverages at the recent Expo Comida Latina/Cultural Food Expo in New York City – the industry’s largest Hispanic food and beverage show in the US. *

The range includes Mexican Style Horchata, Horchata Sabor de Morro, Morir Sonando/Orange Jubilee and Avena/Oatmeal Shake.

SolMaya Brands is unique in that it's the only brand, both in the US and Latin America, that has these four nostalgic Latin American flavours in the convenience of modern, shelf-stable, ready to drink packaging (9.5oz glass bottles and 12oz aluminium cans).

SolMaya Brands President and CEO Fernando Oswaldo Leonzo said: “I believe we hit a home run at this show. Many of the retailers and distributors were able to learn, first hand, just how delicious and unique our products are. Some attendees told us it looks like a success in the making; a few said this could be the new Snapple of the Hispanic market.

“Due to the realignment of many successful beverage brands in the US during the past year, many beverage distributors now have room on their trucks and are looking for the next great thing. If this show is any indication of what’s in store for SolMaya’s future, we're destined to be that next great success!”
