Spring into September with Oato
The start of a new season calls for trying out something new,
and we suggest sampling a dairy-free milk alternative. If you’ve tried out
oat-based milk alternatives before, you’ll likely understand what all the hype
is about, but you may not have tasted the best of the best…which is where Oato
comes in! Hailing from Lancashire, Oato is a small UK business with a passion
for sustainability and creating deliciously creamy fresh oat drink.

What’s Oato’s story?
Carl Hopwood’s decision to found Oato was a product of his
vision for a more sustainable future, united by his background in chemistry and
business. Carl saw that there were no oat-based dairy alternatives being
produced in the UK with UK ingredients, with oat drinks often imported from
Europe with non-UK ingredients. Not only that, the oat drinks on offer in
supermarkets are packaged in tetrapaks and heated to ultra-high temperatures,
making them a less sustainable option to Oato’s natural low-impact oats.
Providing an oat drink that’s sustainably produced with UK
ingredients and delivered in glass was a no-brainer for Oato. Offering the
finest local products and ingredients with sustainability at its core made
Creamline and Oato a natural pairing!

Packed full of fibre and plant-based protein
Adding oat-based drinks into your diet is a great way to up
your fibre intake and promote a healthy digestion system. People commonly worry
that oat alternatives don’t contain enough protein. While they don’t provide as
much protein per ml compared to cow’s milk, they’re still proven to be a
fantastic source of plant-based protein. And whether you’re trying oat drink on
the side or on its own, you can be sure you’re still packing in the vitamins as
Oato is fortified with calcium, vitamins D3, B2 and B12, and B-Glucans, all of
which strengthen your immune system.
Available in glass bottles, to your doorstep
Oato comes fresh in pint-sized glass bottles, delivered by
Creamline’s friendly milkmen to your doorstep. Like the rest of our glass milk
bottles, simply rinse out the bottle when you’re done and your roundsperson
will conveniently take them away, no-hassle.
Straight from the glass bottle, Oato offers a better
experience than its less sustainable carton counterparts found in supermarket
fridges and shelves. As oat drinks naturally separate after standing still, make
sure to shake the bottle well before use to heighten its deliciously creamy
texture.
Latte art enthusiasts needn’t worry as Oato won’t split in
your coffee and you can even microfoam it! It’s also yummy in porridge (yes,
more oats!), with cereal or simply on its own.
