Delemere Plant-Based Oat drink has been debuted in a new 97ml bottle targeted towards the hospitality and foodservice categories to build on the brand's success with its mini bottles of semi-skimmed milk.
The product is positioned as the perfect alternative to cow's milk and is sized with single-serve occasions in mind, which are particularly relevant for hotels, restaurants and cafes. The product is shelf-stable for up to six months and can be refrigerated after opening to accommodate multi-serve occasions thanks to the three to four servings inside the bottle. Ideal for hot drinks and cereal, the product comes packaged in mini glass bottles to eliminate the use of single-use plastics and also prioritize a premium user experience.
National Account Manager Dan Yates commented on the Delemere Plant-Based Oat drink saying, "Our mini milk bottles are already a trusted choice in hotels and hospitality settings, so the creation of a plant-based oat drink in the same format felt like the natural next step when adding to the range."
