Pero Instant Natural Beverage

Pero is a popular caffeine-free coffee alternative made from a blend of roasted barley, malted barley, chicory, and rye. It has been a staple for those seeking a natural, non-stimulant hot beverage that mimics the aroma and flavor of coffee without the acidity or caffeine.

Originally, the brand is closely linked to the German brand 'Caro,' which was introduced by Nestlé in West Germany in 1954. Historically, the production of these grain-based coffee substitutes dates back to the 19th century in Ludwigsburg, Germany. While the product was manufactured in Germany for decades, Nestlé relocated the production facilities to Portugal in late 2018. Today, Pero is marketed in the United States primarily through distributors like InterNatural Foods, while remaining under the ultimate global ownership of the Swiss multinational Nestlé.
