For decades, Oatly has been committed to delivering delicious, nutritious, and non-dairy products with minimal environmental impact for consumers. The launch of this innovative oat-based cheese not only provides consumers with a healthier alternative to traditional dairy cheese but also enhances their experience of exploring delicious food.

Since the pandemic, people have increasingly paid attention to the relationships between a healthy diet and physical well-being. According to Statistia.com, about 50% of Americans actively seek healthier alternatives in their food choices, including 44% of Gen Z, 51% of Millennials, 51% of Gen X, and 58% of Baby Boomers. However, there are still many people, about 45%, concerned about the taste of healthy products. Oatly Oat Cheese is designed to meet this demand in the cheese category. Crafted from high-quality gluten-free oats and natural ingredients using advanced techniques, Oatly Oat Cheese is lactose-free, glyphosate-free, and perfect for those seeking healthier food options without compromising taste or quality.

Oatly Oat Cheese is not just about health; it’s also about enriching dining experiences.

Hence, Oatly Oat Cheese is the perfect choice for health-conscious individuals who love to include cheese in their meals. With low-calorie and a smooth taste, Oatly Oat Cheese offers them opportunities to explore healthier versions of recipes like hamburgers, meatball spaghetti, and vegan homemade pizzas, all made with oat cheese.

“We understand that it’s challenging for many consumers to balance a healthy lifestyle with a gourmet experience, as most cheeses on the market are high in saturated fat and salt, ” said Leah Hoxie, SVP of Innovation, Oatly North America. “That’s why we crafted an oat-based cheese to satisfy our consumers’ desire for healthy and delicious food. And we’re excited to introduce our Oatly Oat Cheese, which is low-calorie, nutritious, and delicious, to the gourmet world.”
