Pomello features the fresh and natural flavours of pomello and elderflower, resulting in a refreshingly delicious and delicately sweet aperitif.

Born in Sweden, Malin moved to London at 19 to pursue a career in luxury PR and communications, spending a decade working with some of the most prestigious names in the travel, hospitality and drinks sectors.

From there, Malin continued her career as a consultant based in the South of France for five years.
