Gibago

SLOVENIA - 2026

Instant oatmeal inspired by traditional Slovenian Prekmurska gibanica, with upcycled apple pomace.

What if the flavours of one of Slovenia’s most iconic desserts could become part of an everyday breakfast? Gibago brings the familiar taste of Prekmurska gibanica, with apple, walnuts, poppy seeds and cinnamon, into a warm instant oatmeal that is ready in just a few minutes with hot water or milk. Upcycled apple pomace adds fibre and gives an often overlooked food processing by-product a new purpose. Gibago combines familiar flavours, simple preparation and thoughtful nutrition. It brings Slovenian tradition, everyday convenience and circular food innovation together in every bowl.
