Taras

Kvas Taras is a traditional Ukrainian drink made from rye bread using natural fermentation. The brand is well-known to consumers who grew up drinking this beverage — its slight tartness, moderate sweetness, and distinctive rye-malt aroma make it instantly recognizable. For many American families with Ukrainian and Eastern European roots, Kvas Taras is a childhood favorite that is difficult to find on regular supermarket shelves.

Exclusive Distribution in the USA

The brand's assortment is built around two basic flavors and various packaging formats for retail and HoReCa. The line includes Kvas Taras White, which is a lighter and more refreshing option. Its balanced taste attracts those who prefer a smooth drink profile without excessive sweetness.

Customers can also enjoy Kvas Taras Dark, with a richer, more concentrated rye bread flavor. Both options are available in large-capacity plastic bottles and convenient jars for refrigerated store displays.

Why Work With GMI Trading

Behind the Taras brand is a 135,000-square-foot warehouse with separate storage areas. This ensures that kvas reaches stores without any loss of quality or supply disruptions. Our company is an importer and distributor that negotiates directly with manufacturers, eliminating unnecessary intermediaries.

The account opening process is quick and simple: there are no strict minimum volume requirements, and the full catalog — featuring products from 117 brands, including 24 exclusive ones — is available from the very first day of registration. This is why stores that previously worked with disparate importers are gradually switching to a single importer and distributor.
