As one of Colombia's premier producers of dairy products, Alqueria has a proud history of being at the forefront of technological innovation. Alqueria has labelled the new Ecolean package "Practijarra", meaning the "practical jug" to emphasize the convenience of the package.

We couldn't be happier with the introduction; the package has been well received as it suits our consumers and makes it more practical and fun to consume milk", says Carlos Enrique Cavelier Lozano, CEO of Alqueria S.A.
