Maluma comprises Goji with Strawberry & Basil, Açaí with Guava & Ginger, and Passionfruit with Lemongrass. The range is available in 25cl cans made by metal packaging group Ardagh.

“Maluma is our innovation in response to a demand for feel-good, natural drinks that … have nutrients to support the skin, metabolism and immune system,” said BLC’s CEO, Rolf Fritsch.

Ardagh Group’s sales director, Dirk Schwung added: “There’s a growing demographic of consumers who will be excited by a feel-good, healthy drink like Maluma. They are also keen to make ‘clean’ lifestyle choices, meaning the can is an ideal choice for BLC’s new brand due to being part of a circular economy.”
