At this important industry event, Family Marí Mayans will attend with its full range of beverages, among which stand out its Hierbas Ibicencas Family Marí Mayans, the authentic ones, along with its iconic spirits, Frígola® and Palo, its gins IBZ Premium and its tequila TeqMex.
At this event, Family Marí Mayans will also introduce to the specialized public its first alcohol-free formula ‘Marí Mayans 0%’. This new drink, made in their facilities from natural ingredients and with low sugar content, is the result of more than two years of work and research alongside specialized laboratories. Additionally, they will be present at Alimentaria with the range Botánicals from Family Marí Mayans, featuring three varieties of Ibizen Infusions, ‘Lemon verbena’, ‘Chamomile’ and ‘Thyme and orange peel flower from Frígola’, and their Gourmet range with their salt from Ibiza, ANaCleta.
For the fifth generation of Family Marí Mayans, made up of Bartolomé and Carlos Marí Mayans “it is satisfying to see the interest that our beverages are generating in Spain and other destinations.” “For us, it is a pride to be able to showcase the authentic flavors of Ibiza at Alimentaria, such as that of Hierbas Ibicencas Family Marí Mayans, Frígola ® or Palo that we produce entirely on the island, from the cultivation and harvesting of the herbs to their maceration, distillation, and bottling,” they explain.
A unique opportunity to discover the Family Marí Mayans universe
The most iconic drinks from Familia Marí Mayans are generating great interest from the hospitality sector due to their versatility in cocktail and gastronomy applications, and Alimentaria represents a unique opportunity to discover this Ibiza universe. Therefore, in addition to tastings of their spirits and infusions, Familia Marí Mayans will present in Barcelona a special collaboration with Heladería Los Valencianos. Thus, attendees at this significant event in the food and beverage sector will be able to enjoy three proposals, such as the lemon granita from Ibiza and Hierbas Ibicencas Familia Marí Mayans, the orange granita and Frígola ® and kiwi and apple granita with tequila TeqMex or IBZ Premium Gin.
Familia Marí Mayans attends this international fair with the aim of also promoting new projects abroad following the national recognition of one of its most representative drinks Hierbas Ibicencas Familia Marí Mayans, at the Premios Alimentos de España, and the rise of its original distillates both inside and outside our country. Its executives will hold various meetings with international distributors at Alimentaria, including some new destinations where this reference company from Ibiza still has no presence. It is worth noting that the products from Familia Marí Mayans are already available in countries such as Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom, among others.
In addition to the Alimentos de España Award for ‘Best Spirits with Geographical Indication 2025’ for its Hierbas Ibicencas Family Marí Mayans, this Familia Marí Mayans company received on March 5th at HORECA Ibiza and Formentera the recognition in the category of ‘Emblematic Product’ for its key role in promoting and preserving the authentic Hierbas Ibicencas.
