Notes on different vegan milk alternatives.

Oatly

the Oatly product palette is a little confusing
they have non-chilled ones ones and chilled ones
- Barista and No Sugar are available as both, with the same name
- there’s also chilled Deluxe and non-chilled Full Fat, which seem to be another pairing (almost same description, same packaging color, same ingredients list)
seemingly they have discontinued the “classic” variant entirely…
- wrong, they renamed it: the default / classic is now fettarm / low fat
Barista seems to be the new default variant
there’s also a “lighter taste” Barista Edition variant now
maybe interesting for ice cream?

Oatly Barista Edition (non-chilled) vs. Oatly Deluxe (chilled)

similar cream off-white color
Barista has little bubbles on the top, Deluxe doesn’t
taste is quite similar, both oaty (“waffle dough taste”), Deluxe maybe a little less
Deluxe feels a little creamier, smoother, thicker, Barista is waterier
interesting as Deluxe has less fat than Barista (or the normal one)
conclusion: I like Deluxe and its creaminess
but the taste is similar, so for usage in products it probably doesn’t matter very much

Lidl Vemondo No Milk vs. Oatly Barista Edition

A is whiter than B
quite different flavors
A tastes milkier, hard to describe
A a little “waterier” than B
B oatier
B has that “waffle dough taste” I think
pretty sure A is No Milk and B is Oatly
Using A instead of B in vanilla ice cream might help against that waffle dough-iness
check: I was correct
No Milk is also oat-based, both 3.5 % fat
What would be interesting next: Alpro Not Milk vs No Milk and Oatly Barist vs. non-Barista
