About Matina
Matina was launched alongside Fleurial in 2001 as a margarine and now covers jams and a chocolate drinking powder as well. The jams are sold in fig, apricot and strawberry, in glass jars and in PET bottles, at more than forty per cent fruit, and the label carries an Algerian Arabic slogan, hamma9na 3la el benna, which puts the emphasis squarely on taste. The chocolate powder is sold as a children's breakfast drink.
