Nootz

In 2021, Dulara, the founder and chef of Nootz, was becoming more and more disappointed that the wealth of the island nation, Sri Lanka, for all its natural glory and hospitable smiles, was inadequately being taken to the world. He, who started his entrepreneurial foray in 2018 with an acquisition and turnaround of a closing down factory in the Sri Lankan triangle, took on a bolder and more time-pressing task - to bring the world's first, pure coconut smoothie - Nootz - to the world. After two years of R&D, utilizing a novel sequence of technology not previously adopted in the world, Nootz had its first successful lot at the end of 2022. More than 70% of the sample study at Biofach, Germany stated that they were excited to purchase the product from the shelf. Nootz was officially launched in 2023. Nootz combines just 3-5 vegan, organic ingredients from the Sri Lankan tropics. Combining coconut milk with fresh endemic fruit at a UHT factory, Nootz has managed to crack the code - bring you the freshness of home with the convenience of a shelf-stable product. Nootz purpose is to uplift the farming and processing communities in Sri Lanka who have long been forgotten by the commoditized and ultra competitive, globalised economy. At the core of the brand is the belief that innovation and authenticity will uplift both the consumers and the upstream communities through combining cutting edge facilities with the flair of age-old Sri Lankan ingredients.
