Oatly releases 1L version of whipping cream

Swedish plant-based milk company Oatly has announced the release of a one litre version of its whipping creamy oat, previously available in a 250ml format.

Coming after chefs, cafes and restaurants have requested a format that requires less packaging and therefore less waste and is easier to store, the product expands to three times its size when whipped.

The cream, which launched on 25 March, contains less saturated fat than dairy cream, as well as a hint of oat.  

“Research shows that 88% of people in the UK want businesses to help them be more environmentally friendly. By offering responsibly sourced ingredients and championing alternatives to cow’s milk, this can go a long way in supporting consumers who want to do their bit for the planet,” said Oatly general manager for UK and Ireland Bryan Carroll.

“We continue to innovate and expand our portfolio of non-dairy, oat-based products – including drinks, oatgurts, frozen desserts, spreads and cooking creams - unlocking a significant opportunity for people wanting to make big, or small, plant-based swaps. We’ve been working closely with food service providers to create products and formats that make dairy alternatives accessible for all occasions - whether you run a busy restaurant, create an incredible hotel experience, or serve refreshments on an aeroplane.”
