We won Beverage of the Year!

We won Beverage of the Year!

It was a privilege for some of our team to attend the 2025 New Zealand Food Awards in Palmerston North last week, where our Otis High Fibre Low Fat Oat Milk was nominated in the Beverage of the Year category. We’re beyond words and immensely humbled to have actually won, wow!

This product is a testament to the incredible team behind it, who pushed boundaries to create an oil-free, gut-friendly oat milk that supports digestive health without compromising on taste or nutrition - the first of its kind made in New Zealand. It’s a milestone not just for Otis, but for the wider plant-based category.

A huge thank you to our amazing team, especially our food technologist, Annabel. This wouldn’t have been possible without your hard work and passion bringing this product to life.

A tip of the hat to FreeFlow Manufacturing for making this product with care, to our Swedish partners Cerealiq, whose technical expertise helped shape it into the very best, and to Harraways and all our growers who supply us with the finest raw ingredient in the world.

This milk represents a special milestone for us, the fifth Otis product to hit the market, and another step forward in our mission to create delicious, nutritious, and sustainable food and beverage options that are good for you and the planet.
Congratulations to all the other incredible brands and nominees at the NZ Food Awards, it’s inspiring to be part of such an innovative and purpose-driven food industry here in Aotearoa.
