About Malta H

Malta H is the non-alcoholic malt drink BRANA has made since 1976, the same year Prestige launched. It is brewed from malt and from sorghum grown in Haiti under arrangements with local farmers, carries notes of caramel and molasses and is enriched with vitamins. BRANA sells it to families rather than to drinkers — its slogan, Bwason tout fanmi an, means a drink for the whole family — and it has taken gold at Monde Selection. Like Prestige, it reaches fifty years in 2026.
