The unique milling process, refined over centuries, gives the products a unique taste and texture, making Flahavan's one of Ireland's most-loved oat brands known for its tradition, integrity, and distinct Irishness.
Key Sustainability Commitments
Spotlight Target Area: Product Health and Nutrition
Flahavan's believe that the health of their customers is paramount, and the business strives to support this through the development of nutritious and healthy products. In 2022, the member added five new 'better for you' products to their range, more than doubling their milestone target. These products included high-protein and immunity boost products as well as high-fibre porridge pots.
Additionally, Flahavan's have added 30 new healthy recipes to their website blog, promoting the health benefits of oats to the wider public. As a result, the business reinforced the importance of a healthy and well-balanced diet to their customers, introducing new products as well as ways to use the nutritious oats in recipes at home.
