Alpina Foods Introduces Cafe Selections First Line of Yogurt on the Market Made with Real Coffee

MIAMI, March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Alpina Foods announced today they are launching the first-ever line of yogurt infused with real coffee called Alpina Café Selections.  The new line-up includes Mocha, Caramel Macchiato, Vanilla Latte, and Coffee.  The combination of smooth creamy Greek yogurt and the robust bold taste of real coffee makes Alpina Café Selection a perfect addition to anyone's morning or afternoon routine.

The line of Alpina Café Selections – different than anything that can be found on the market today -- uses real Colombian coffee and not "coffee flavoring" found in the dairy aisle.  An excellent source of calcium Café Selections also includes protein and caffeine and, at only 120 calories per cup, they provide a great option for breakfast or afternoon snack break.

"Thirty-four percent of Americans drinks coffee, higher than soda consumption.  Specialty coffee makes up a large percentage of this growth which is why we decided to launch Alpina Café Selections," stated said Gustavo Badino, Alpina Foods' general manager.  "We are always looking to innovate in the dairy aisle.  Once we found a recipe that tasted just like the consumer's favorite flavor and were able to include actual Colombian coffee, we knew we had a unique product the consumer would want and enjoy."

An alternative to sugary snacks and drinks, Alpina Café Selections are high in protein (12 grams) and calcium (20%), have 0 grams of fat, and provide 30-50 mg of caffeine (the equivalent to about half a cup of coffee) – perfect choice to help power anyone through their day.

Alpina Café Selections is sold in select regional and independent retailers including, ShopRite, Shaw's, Fairway Markets  and Lowe's Markets.  With plans to expand its distribution this summer; follow @alpinaUSA for updates.
