Company Summary

Our company started two years ago with a certified organic hazelnut beverage and a dream to be the first mover in hazelnut milk across the world.

Our refrigerated Hazel Nutmilk is the first of its kind, with amazing flavor, powerful health benefits, and an emphasis sustainable agriculture. Plant-based milk consumption in the United States will grow $1.1 billion by 2023, and we are ready to own the hazelnut taste with a 2019 launch.
