FoodScientistforHire was approached by an Australian customer in November 2019 to develop a healthy drink that includes apple cider vinegar. The customer had already made a few drinks in their own kitchen but wanted to scale up the home-made recipe and launch the drink in Australia.
The foodies from FSFH worked on several flavours and after 6 weeks the first two flavours were established: Apple & Raspberry and Mango & Passionfruit. The drinks contained fruit juices, apple cider vinegar and had a sparkling bubble. Claims as vegan, low sugar, low calorie and absolutely nothing artificial could be made. Our graphic designer jumped on the branding and some terrific designs were made. The designs were printed and the label was ready to be placed on the bottle. We contacted a small factory in Sydney and the first 3000 bottles rolled off the line in June 2020.
After some successful sales in the Australian winter of 2020, more and more bottles were produced and a third flavour was developed: Ginger & Lemon. In one year a total of 80,000 bottles were produced. The bottles are for sale in 8 Coles stores in Sydney, in 20 IGAs in Adelaide, Sydney and regional NSW and in regional shops in NSW.
This is a great success story that we will never forget. In memory of Bruno Marando: try now the bold flavours of the apple cider vinegar range of Bruno’s UptheCombi (upthecombi.com.au). Aussie made with all the goodness from apple cider vinegar!
