Organic blackcurrant powder, 125 g, Obio

I have just started to use it as an additive in white yoghurt, it seems to be a very good product, the powder has a very intense taste, denoting the wide concentration of fruits, and it has a very fragrant and aromatic taste.

Merișor (Cranberry), 60 tablets, 1+1, Dacia Plant

The product is great and the price is very competitive compared to other products offered in the market. Unfortunately the delivery is not very fast because it comes from Romania for the rest everything is good.
