About Toro
Toro is the non-alcoholic energy drink BRANA launched in the early 2000s; the company gives no year more precise than that, so none is recorded here. It is sold for physical and mental exertion, to consumers looking for energy, performance and endurance, and BRANA says it has become an everyday companion standing for drive and determination rather than an occasional purchase. Its slogan, Pran Fòs Ou, means take your strength.
