Oatly Launches ‘Lighter Taste’ Barista Oat Milk

Oatly has launched a new, lighter version of its popular barista-style oat milk with reduced fat content and a “more neutral taste” to better suit varied coffee roasts. The brand initially trialed the “Barista Edition Lighter Taste” oat milk at select coffee shops in Europe before releasing it in the UK with updated packaging and a new name. The lighter milk has less fat at 2.1 percent, resulting in a thinner and more neutral oat taste that complements lightly roasted coffee beans.

In addition to being suitable for coffee, Oatly’s Lighter Taste barista milk is also recommended for baking, on cereals, and in tea and other hot drinks. The brand has expanded its core range in recent years, introducing collaborative products like the ‘Piña Oatlada’ with Malibu and overnight oat smoothies, alongside new variations of its popular plant milks to cater to consumer demand and compete with dairy products. With the introduction of the Barista Lighter Taste, Oatly continues its strategy of offering a wider range of choices for customers and consumers looking for plant-based milk alternatives.
