The Alpro Barista Caramel creamer is the brand's latest addition to its namesake Barista product lineup that's crafted with a plant-based recipe to work well for consumers seeking a way to elevate their favorite cups of coffee.
The product features oat and soy milk that have been blended to achieve the perfect consistency for smoothness, while the incorporation of caramel flavor gives the creamer an indulgent touch. The product is suited for being poured into your morning cup of coffee or foamed up to achieve barista-grade drinks from the comfort of home. The product comes in 750ml cartons priced at £1.75 and is available for purchase at Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's.
Head of Category Management Tom Kerr commented on the Alpro Barista Caramel creamer saying, "We know a lot of people are consistently seeking out flavours when it comes to their coffee drinking habits, with research showing that around 66% of consumers have an interest in purchasing the caramel concept. Ensuring we’re addressing consumer flavour preferences is vital as we evolve our portfolio. However, we also remain committed to helping shoppers live a healthier lifestyle. The introduction of Barista Caramel Flavour which combines great taste with the added benefits from calcium, vitamin D2 and B2, reassures people that they’re making a healthy choice when making their coffee."
