We won the 2026 Dairy Free Awards!

We won the 2026 Dairy Free Awards!

Otis was born from a passion to make a positive impact on people and the planet. If we keep doing things the same exact way, generation after generation, we will get the same exact result.
 
So how about a light touch heritage grain like oats, grown by the best farmers, milked here in NZ using the most advanced technology, to offer a tasty, nutritious alternative? So that's what we did, we just quietly got on with it.

Earlier this year we were delighted to win the Plant Milk category in the Vegan Society's Dairy Free Awards!

We sat down as a team, with our morning cuppa and reflected on our journey and how we actually got here. It's thanks to you!

  • The customers who've made Otis part of their morning ritual.
  • The baristas who put us through our paces behind the machine, steaming, stretching, pouring, and trusted us to hold up under pressure (literally).
  • The café owners and stockists who took a chance on us way back in 2019, put us on their menus, and told their regulars about us.

So to every barista who's backed us, thank you. You pushed us to be better, and this win reflects your craft as much as ours.

And to our at home customers, you choose to back something you believe in, and that's means more to us than we know how to say.

This award belongs to all of us.

A modern milk, grown differently in the hope of leaving our little corner of the world in a better place than we found it.

Thank you, genuinely.
