Caro cereal drink

Caro is a popular caffeine-free coffee substitute made from roasted barley, malted barley, chicory, and rye. It has been a household staple for those seeking a warm, nutty beverage without the stimulant effects of coffee. The product is valued for its natural ingredients and simple preparation.

The brand was originally introduced in West Germany in 1954. Over the decades, it has expanded its presence globally, particularly in Europe and Australasia. While it originated with Nestlé in Germany, manufacturing occurs in various facilities worldwide to serve regional markets, including sites in Portugal and the United States (where it is often sold under the Pero brand or as an import).

Caro is owned by Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage conglomerate. Nestlé maintains a diverse portfolio of instant beverages and continues to manage the brand's production and distribution across international borders, ensuring it remains a leading choice in the cereal-based coffee alternative category.
