Almar at SIAL Paris 2026: the new products we’re showcasing in Hall 5B, stand N130

From October 17 to 21, 2026, Almar Drink & Food will be exhibiting at SIAL Paris, the international food industry trade show that brings together buyers, distributors, and professionals from all over the world every two years in Paris. You can find us in Hall 5B, Stand N130.

Since 1968, we have been producing professional beverage and food preparations for bars, cafés, hotels, and restaurants at our headquarters near Milan. At SIAL, we will showcase the results of our recent work: five new product launches and a product line designed for those who seek both great taste and wellbeing in the same cup.

New Products We Are Presenting in Paris

OOBA: The Naturally Purple Ube Drink Mix

OOBA is our latest premium innovation: an ube beverage mix made with the purple yam originally from the Philippines, which is rapidly gaining popularity in cafés and coffee shops worldwide thanks to its vibrant purple color. It contains 5% pure ube. The ingredient itself gives the beverage its natural lilac hue, without artificial colorings, and a delicate flavor profile with notes reminiscent of hazelnut and vanilla.

OOBA contains no added sugars (naturally occurring sugars only), is gluten-free, 100% plant-based, high in fiber, and a source of protein. It can be prepared hot using 15 g of product and 130 ml of milk or plant-based drink, or cold using 30 g of product, 100 ml of liquid, and ice, blended or shaken.

From a velvety breakfast latte to a frappé topped with plant-based whipped cream and crunchy toppings, OOBA offers operators a visually striking product that is perfectly suited for social media. Available in a 360 g can, yielding 12 cold servings or 24 hot servings.

Matcha Latte: A Japanese Tradition Classic

Green matcha tea meets the creaminess of a milk-based beverage. A ready-to-use preparation that allows cafés and coffee shops to add a vibrant, consistently flavored matcha latte to their menu, cup after cup, without dedicated equipment.

Available in two formats: a practical 360 g can and a professional bag format, featuring a different formula specifically developed for bar use.

NeroPuro Ginseng: All the Goodness of Ginseng, Without Sugar

Ginseng coffee has become a staple in Italian cafés. With NeroPuro, we offer a version with no added sugars, designed for those who enjoy the smooth, comforting flavor of ginseng coffee while preferring to control sweetness themselves.

The range includes a 210 g can with a specially developed extra-creamy formula suitable for both home and professional use, as well as a 250 g professional pouch dedicated to industry professionals.

Mix’n’Shake: The New Vegan Milkshake Range

Creamy and indulgent milkshakes formulated without ingredients of animal origin. A practical response to the growing demand for plant-based beverages, ready in seconds with water or a plant-based drink and ice.

This range has also been designed for consumers with specific dietary requirements. Available in four new flavors, accompanied by outstanding recipes developed by our Research & Development team:

• Vanilla
• Salted Caramel
• Strawberry
• Chocolate

Velasca 1958 Coffee

Velasca 1958 Milano is our premium whole-bean coffee developed for professional espresso extraction. Three profiles, one standard of excellence.

• Aroma – Medium-light roast: delicate and fragrant, with floral and spicy notes and a light acidity.
• Classic – Medium roast: balanced and rounded, with persistent crema, a clean taste, and notes of cocoa and biscuits.
• Intenso – Medium-dark roast: full-bodied, with dense crema, a bold flavor, and long-lasting persistence.

The philosophy is simple: premium quality at a fair price. No binding contracts and no hidden service costs included in the product price. Operators pay only for the coffee and order whenever and however much they need.

The New Vitality Line

Today’s consumers read labels carefully, make informed choices, and expect cafés to offer alternatives that do not require them to compromise on taste. This is why we created Vitality, the Almar line dedicated to products that support a health-conscious lifestyle.

Trenders

One mix, two results: pancakes or waffles ready in minutes.

Simply add milk or a plant-based drink, let the batter rest for 30 minutes, and cook at 180°C on a griddle, non-stick pan, or waffle iron. One 500 g bag yields 20 portions of 50 g each.

Gluten-free and egg-free, with flax seeds, and free from hydrogenated fats and palm oil. When prepared with a plant-based drink, it becomes a fully vegan option.

Suitable for sweet or savory recipes, it is perfect for breakfasts, brunches, and snacks and pairs perfectly with our Goody spreads: Golosa, Buenito, and Pistachio.

Veggy Coffee Cremino

All the indulgence of traditional coffee cremino in a vegan version created for consumers following a plant-based diet.

Cortina Hot Chocolate

The thick and comforting traditional Italian hot chocolate, reformulated for those seeking a lighter indulgent break.

Ginseng Zero+

Ginseng coffee in its most essential form, for consumers looking for a flavorful beverage with a more balanced nutritional profile.

With Vitality, we aim to provide bars and cafés with a simple way to expand their offering and appeal to an increasingly diverse customer base.
