Staying with the battle of the sexes in drinks, Taiwan firm Uni Président has launched his' and hers' premium coffee drinks. His Café is a blend of strong Mandheling coffee with 50% milk and sugar, while Her Café is a similar blend but with more milk. Both products are packaged in Tetra Prisma aseptic 250ml cartons with a gold finish for the men and silver for the women. Moving to the meat industry, Spanish producer El Pozo Alimentación shows there is always scope for more new flavours ingredients. It has launched Salchichas Mexicanas in three flavours ­ Guacamole, Taco and Jalapeno. The sausages come in 250g packs containing three pieces. Meanwhile, in Italy, Wüber has launched Leggeri di Pollo con Mozzarella, a chicken-based sausage filled with Mozzarella cheese. . Snacking also continues to generate new concepts and ideas such as Snakx ­ launched by H & E Reinert in Germany. Slices of salami, in 80g packs, are being marketed as a snack product and are available in three flavours ­ plain salami, garlic-flavoured and hot. In France, Rhums Clément has launched Rhum Canne Bleue, which has been produced from only one variety of sugar cane in Martinique (French Caribbean island). This variety is called B69.566 and is also called canne bleue (blue cane), because of its purple/blue colour, which completely disappears once refined. It is said to be richer in sugar and give the rum a fuller aroma and flavour. A bottle of Rhum Canne Bleue is priced at E15.24 Elsewhere, the spirits sector is showing enterprise in the US where the 3 Vodka Distilling Co of the US has launched 3 Vodka, said to be a super premium vodka made with soya isolates instead of the usual corn or potatoes. Soya is believed to make the product smoother. 3 Vodka has a clear glass bottle with a contoured cap, and retails at $24.99 for a 750-ml bottle. {{P&P }}
