Lovoka also won its category at the Product of the Year Awards, the largest consumer-voted competition for product innovation, in 2011 and 2012.WHAT SETS LOVOKA APARTLovoka’s passionate devotees are wild for its incredibly smooth flavor profile, lack of alcohol burn, and sophisticated caramel candy-like aroma nuanced with toffee and vanilla.
