Founded in 1990 in the hey-day or rave culture by the team behind Green & Blacks chocolate and Whole Earth Foods, Gusto Organic are trail blazers in crafting unique drinks with a focus on botanical ingredients, complex flavours and powerful plant extracts.  Spin forward 35 years and the Gusto range has diversified from powerful guarana-based energy drinks to deliver a unique range of decidedly adult focused soft drinks that have carved a delicious alternative to big brand soda and created a joyous and indulgent choice in the alcohol-free category.   

Every drink in the range is free from refined sugar and uses Fairtrade agave, Fairtrade apple and organic grape juice to sweeten. This choice of sweeteners offers a healthier and more flavoursome alternative to refined sugar and has a lower glycaemic index.

Their best-selling Gusto Cola range offer a delicious alternative to big brand cola and delivers authentic tasting colas crafted from organic spices, essential oils, cola nut and Fairtrade Madagascan vanilla.  Free from bone rotting phosphoric acid, synthetic caffeine and artificial sweeteners, cola has never tasted so good.  Their organic cherry cola is a thing of beauty, the only organic cherry cola on planet earth with organic cherry juice adding an authentic and delicious cherry twist.  Each bottle of Gusto Cola sold, supports agave farmers and their communities in Jalisco, Mexico and vanilla farmers in Madagascar providing a fair wage, a future and dignity for some of the poorest in-work people on the planet.

Their Fiery Ginger with Jalapeno celebrates the venerable ginger root with fresh organic Peruvian ginger juice and Fiery Jalapeno – possibly the quintessential adult soft drink and certainly a very fine mixer.  Their Sicilian Blood Orange has whole organic blood oranges at its heart, grown in the foothills of Mount Etna where the hot days and cold nights help their blood oranges to flush a deep anthocyanin red.  Gusto’s Sicilian lemon with Yuzu blends cold pressed Yuzu peel, packed with flavour, with whole organic Sicilian lemons, it’s an extraordinary subtle and fragrant lemonade that pairs perfectly with food.

Gusto are proud to work with Cotswold Fayre where shared values of ethical trading, honest and clean labels and fine organic ingredients have always been front and centre.
