Why ROA's m*lk?

If you’ve stumbled upon this page, you probably want to know more about why we believe in our oat m*lk. So where do we start? When used in coffee it responds to the relatively sour coffee beans just like traditional cow’s milk does - or maybe even better. This means that it doesn't break down and creates a fluffy layer of foam. Great for latté art. But just because we call our oat m*lk called Barista does not mean we do not love it in a smoothie, overnight oats, our morning cruesli, a milkshake, an espresso martini, or just by itself. On the contrary, we believe ROA Barista handles the spotlight pretty well on its own. The oat m*lk has a rich and balanced oat taste with natural sweetness and no added sugar while giving you that smooth mouthfeel of traditional milk. 

​

But these aren't the only advantages of drinking our oat m*lk. To give you an overview, we have listed ten relevant benefits and findings below.
