- Full Description
-
Having started in a restaurant kitchen, the company quickly gained a strong foothold in independent cafés before scaling up with a shelf-stable version of their beverages. Their portfolio has earned national recognition and retail traction, positioning them for further international expansion.
The company's mission is to elevate the standard for plant-based products—prioritizing taste, clean ingredients, and functional performance in professional settings.
Building the new standard in plant-based.
This company is a chef and barista-led plant-based company based in Dublin, Ireland. They produce game-changing oat and almond milks for food service and retail, alongside a growing range of dairy-free products—including their award-winning ice cream, GELOATO.
Their mission is simple: raise the bar for plant-based. That means taste-first, chef-approved recipes using clean-label ingredients. No gums, no junk, no nonsense. Every product is crafted to perform in a café or kitchen - creamy, smooth, and barista-friendly, every time.
The company developed their original oat milk recipe from scratch in a Dublin restaurant kitchen - founded by barista Ste O'Loughlin and chef Sandy Wyer. What started as a fresh, weekly-made oat milk sold directly to cafés quickly became a cult favourite and was later used by Dunnes Stores for their premium Simply Better range. When the logistics of a short shelf life proved unscalable, the company developed their own shelf-stable version in Tetra Pak with zero compromise in quality.
Since launching, they have sold over 350,000 litres of oat milk, supplied many of Ireland’s top cafés and bakeries - Bread 41, Scéal, Una, Hugo’s, The Rock Bakery, Firehouse Bakery, Waterlilies - and seen exceptional growth in the food service space. Their dairy-free ice cream, developed using their oat milk base, won a Blas na hÉireann award in its first year and is now listed in cafés and retail locations across the country.
In 2025, the company will launch their Almond Mlk - developed with the same approach: barista-built, chef-tested, clean-label, and best-in-class. The product has already received overwhelmingly positive feedback from leading baristas and chefs. Their ultimate aim is to build a supply chain that’s as progressive as their products.
They don’t believe plant-based should be second best. They're not an alternative—they’re the upgrade. And they’re just getting started. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The client is a chef- and barista-led company producing oat and almond milks that are designed to outperform the competition - both in taste and in use.
Their USP is performance without compromise: plant-based drinks that meet the high standards of food service professionals while staying simple, sustainable, and scalable.
Unlike many legacy brands, they developed their recipes in real kitchens, not labs. Their oat milk was created from scratch by Ste O’Loughlin (barista) and Sandy Wyer (chef and restaurateur at Forest Avenue), refined over years of hands-on use. That focus on taste and functionality is what sets them apart.
Key differentiators:
Performance-first development: Recipes crafted in real food service environments, not labs.
Award-winning innovation: Their dairy-free frozen dessert line earned national recognition for quality.
Trusted by professionals: Widely used in cafés and bakeries known for high standards.

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The company is looking to collaborate with a logistics partner that can offer reliable, cost-effective pallet transport solutions between Ireland and Greece. The ideal partner would:
Operate across both regions with chilled or ambient capacity.
Have experience with SME and growing food brands.
Offer transparent pricing and agreed annual tariffs for pallet pricing.
Be open to long-term, scalable collaboration.
Provide added value such as warehousing, regional language sticker application, or last-mile distribution where needed.
