Moreover, "new product" does not always mean a completely new item – sometimes it is a different packaging, flavor, or appearance of a product already loved by consumers. This year, the exhibition will feature many products that have just appeared, as well as those that are returning to customers in a new guise after many years on the market. Be among the first to see, taste, and evaluate! ## Biological Carbonated Beverages This year, the Latvian company Very Berry opens the new "product marathon" by presenting organic carbonated beverages Fizzy Drink at the exhibition. Available in seven different flavors, they are created by combining cold-pressed juices, carefully selected tea varieties, and carbonated water from deep wells, resulting in a naturally sparkling and refreshing taste. The cold-pressing method and gentle pasteurization help preserve the rich flavor and valuable nutrients. Delicious and colorful! ## New Spice Series from Pipars Latvian culinary blogger, "kitchen hooligan" Pipars, in collaboration with Oak’A BBQ, has created a new series of seasonings that emerged from the combination of Pipars' experience and Oak’A BBQ's knowledge in flavor creation. The new series features three seasonings – for meat, for soups, and a universal one, intended for both everyday dishes and creative culinary experiments. "These spices will help cook easier, faster, and at the same time allow the dish to acquire a flavor that makes you say, ‘Yes, this is great!’" notes Rojs Puke, or Pipars.  ## Potato and Pea Snacks Crispy, light, and with a solid content of protein and fiber – the new potato and pea snacks from the Latvian brand Nordcrunch are available in two flavors: tomato and dill-butter.

Crunch, enjoy, and choose your favorite flavor! ## Chocolate with Cherry and Cardamom Especially delicate, richly dark, and surprisingly aromatic – the Lāči brand expands its assortment. The bar combines rich Belgian dark chocolate, juicy cherry filling, and aromatic cardamom. This unusual fusion is created for those who seek not only sweetness in chocolate but also a refined, multifaceted taste experience.  ## Salmon in Mango and Jalapeño Sauce The perfect balance of exotic sweetness and slight spiciness! This is what the new product from Banga is – salmon in mango and jalapeño sauce, combining the delicate taste of Atlantic salmon with a pronounced addition. The salmon is farmed in aquaculture regions of Norway, Scotland, Chile, and the Faroe Islands and is carefully processed to preserve its natural texture and juiciness. The mango and jalapeño sauce gives the fish a slightly exotic and balanced flavor. Try something unusual! ## Candied Berries and Fruits After 15 years in the Latvian and export markets, Rāmkalni updates its visual identity, giving beloved fruit and berry candied fruits a new look.
