Oatmilk Original

This is the original Oatmilk in an ambient package so you can store it at room temp. It’s a great go-to product for just about everything, and provides the kind of oatsome deliciousness that would make other drinks exceptionally jealous. But since it’s made of liquid oats and liquid oats are incredibly humble, well then, jealousy is not an issue. When should you use it? Whenever you’d use old school milk from cows—chilled in a glass, on your cereal, in your smoothies, in all your cooking and baking—in exactly the same amounts.

What's Amazing

What’s not amazing? It’s a pretty optimal option for everyday use because it performs like cow’s milk, and it includes 2% fat from rapeseed oil and oats. The only sugars are the ones that occur naturally during our enzymatic process, so you’re good. And we have made sure that the beta-glucans (big, scientific word for soluble fiber) in this one are strong and handsome.

What might be less amazing

When we created this product, we knew people would want to use it in all the ways they use cow’s milk. So we made sure it would perform beautifully in cooking and baking by adding something called dipotassium phosphate as an acidity regulator. It keeps your oatmilk from separating when heated. BTW, you can be sure there is nothing in this product that isn’t absolutely necessary or absolutely approved for consumption. Everything is plant-based, void of GMOs and made carefully with you and the planet you live on in mind. Maybe we should have put that up under “What’s amazing.”

More about this product

  • What’s the difference between the types of oatmilk?

    We offer a variety of oatmilks which differ in flavor and fat content based on the product. Our oatmilks all start with the same oat base, to which we add varying levels of oil (like how cream gets added back into cow's milk). Our Full Fat Oatmilk has a 3.7% fat content while Original has a 2% fat content, which makes the Full Fat extra creamy. The Full Fat also contains 35mg/serving of DHA. Our Barista Edition has a 3% fat content and is formulated to work particularly well in hot beverages, like coffee. Lastly, we have a Low Fat oatmilk which is free of added oils.

  • Where can I find grocery stores near me that carry Oatly?

    We made the Oatfinder so that you can be directed with GPS accuracy to the nearest forward-thinking grocery stores, restaurants and cafes that carry Oatly products. While the Oatfinder is really popular and talented, it can’t tell you whether a location has Oatly products in stock at this very moment, so we recommend calling ahead to make sure there will be cartons of oatmilk or frozen dessert, or a perfectly foamed oat latte waiting for you when you arrive. Enjoy.

  • Where does the sugar come from?

    Our oatmilks (aside from the Chocolate) don’t contain any added sweeteners like cane sugar, which is why they’re not listed as an ingredient. The sugar in our oatmilk is produced during our enzymatic production process. Basically, we use natural enzymes to liquefy our oats, which enables us to create a really creamy product that retains a lot of the nutrition from the original oat (like protein, unsaturated fats, fibers, and carbs). As part of this process, the enzymes break the starches in our oats down into smaller components, including simple sugar like maltose. It’s comparable to how the human body uses enzymes to break starches down into sugars during digestion. You can read more about this process here.

    FDA guidance on sugar labeling now provides that any sugar created during a product’s production process should be categorized as 'added', which is why these sugars are listed as 'added sugar' on our nutrition labels.

  • Why did you use rapeseed oil?

    We’re always trying to find a balance between sustainability, taste and nutritional health. Oatly has used canola oil (also called rapeseed oil in Scandinavia) in our products for many years, because we believe it is the plant-based oil that best enables us to deliver on those values. In our US operations, we use only non-GMO canola oil that is expeller-pressed with zero hexane involved in the process. In comparison to other plant-based oils, non-GMO canola/rapeseed oil also contains relatively less saturated fat and has a neutral taste profile that lets the flavor of our oats shine.

  • I have notes, and some questions, who can I talk to?

    We created OatlyFans just to answer this and any other questions you might have.

  • I hate Oatly but I don’t know how to put it in words.
