Nova America's initiative to operate in the retail market arose in the 1980s when the Group launched Nova America Cristal sugar on the market. In the 1990s, Dolce refined and Dolce Sabor powdered sugars were added. Produced with the most advanced technologies for sugar manufacturing, they count on the tradition and half century experience of the Group in this area. Launched in 2001, Dolce Light sweetens two times more than traditional sugar. It therefore permits a 50% reduction in calorie intake since only half the amount of sugar is necessary to have the same sweetening power. With the diversification of its sugar portfolio, Nova America attends to all consumer tastes and purposes. Dolce refined sugar is found in 1kg and 5kg packages, as well as in 5g sachets, ready to go straight to the table. Cristal can be acquired in the 1kg, 2kg and 5kg versions, and Dolce Sabor, ideal for preparing pastries, creams and icings, comes in packages of 500g.
