help Oatly FAQ

Where was the Oatly company originally founded?

Oatly was founded in Lund, Sweden, in the mid-1990s by food scientist Rickard Öste. He originally developed the oat milk as a lactose-free alternative for consumers who wanted a more sustainable option than cow's milk.

How does Oatly's carbon footprint compare to traditional dairy milk?

According to independent lifecycle assessments, producing a liter of Oatly oat milk generates roughly 80% less greenhouse gas emissions than a liter of cow's milk. It also uses significantly less land and fresh water because it skips the resource-intensive animal farming stage.

What is the Oatly 'Barista Edition' oat milk designed for?

The Barista Edition is specifically formulated with a higher fat content (rapeseed oil) and a specific acidity regulator to mimic the steamability of whole dairy milk. This allows professional baristas to pour micro-foam latte art without the oat milk separating in hot espresso.

Are Oatly products fortified with vitamins?

Yes, most Oatly milk products sold in North America and Europe are fortified with essential nutrients. They add Calcium, Vitamin D, Riboflavin, and Vitamin B12 to ensure the plant-based beverage matches or exceeds the nutritional profile of traditional dairy milk.
