A new alt-dairy company based in the US, Edenesque, is making its debut with a line of ‘earth-friendly, nutritious and chef-crafted’ plant-based milks.
The company, founded by CEO Leslie Woodward, is launching with a line-up that includes Unsweetened Oat Milk, Barista Blend Oat Milk and Barista Blend Pistachio Milk (pictured above).
According to the brand, each product is crafted to deliver maximum flavour, nutrition and performance with minimal waste. It uses whole ingredients without any fillers, gums, preservatives or additives, and claims to offer the ‘highest concentration’ of oats and nuts of any plant-based milk on the market, alongside vitamin and protein blends for nutritional support.
Unsweetened Oat Milk offers 5g of protein per serving and a source of vitamins A, D and calcium. It has less than 1% sugar and is ideally suited to drinking by the glass, in smoothies, cereals and baked goods.
Barista Oat Milk is lightly sweetened with coconut nectar, a natural sweetener derived from the sap of coconut palm blossoms. It is creamy and foams up to provide an ideal solution for coffee or tea latte art.
The Pistachio Barista Blend, also made with coconut nectar, offers a high concentration of pistachios and cashews, similarly suited for creamy and frothy hot drinks as well as for drinking by the glass as a rich, flavourful option.
Core to the company’s mission is its social project, the Edenesque Food Insecurity Initiative, which supports a multi-faceted approach to reducing food insecurity in New York State by partnering with local organisations. Each purchase of the brand’s milk supports the initiative.
With the goal of scaling a replicable model across the US, the company partners with Greater Hudson Promise, Columbia County Recovery Kitchen, Long Table Harvest, Big Dream Farm and Sweet Water Farm to help nourish local communities.
The mission-driven business’ tagline, ‘Be the Love,’ represents that ‘love is actionable, and when compassion meets purpose, transformation is possible’.
Edenesque’s full range of plant milks is now available at Whole Foods Markets in New York and Connecticut, select retailers in New York State, and all 27 Joe Coffee locations for $6.99. It will be available through the company’s website for national shipping from 1 November.
