What is the shelf life?

Yes, it is only 6 months and i ordered cases due to pandemic but still drinking ones recently expired such as the one i am drinking now 5/18/2020 expired april 11, 2020 but it tastes like it always taste and it is best if used by date thus it means product is deteriorating but may still be edible. If i would have know such a short shelf like would not have spent hundreds of dollars, will have to donate so can be used now.

My order arrived but it tastes sour. This is the first time to try oat milk. Don’t know whether this is the normal taste.

It shouldn’t have a sour taste. It should be somewhat creamy and have a faint oatmeal/nutty taste.

One thing i would recommend: shake the container really well before each pour. The oat ‘solids’ can settle at the bottom and create a separation (which might be what you are tasting).

Otherwise, you may have a bad batch and i would contact amazon to get a replacement. This is a really great milk/creamer substitute, so don’t give up.

What type of sunflower oil is in it? Some are high in lineoleic which is bad for you.

Our sunflower oil is a high-oleic sunflower oil, which means it is about 75% oleic acid, with linoleic and other fatty acids making up the difference.

What are the ingredients? And how many grams of sugar per serving?

8g sugar per 8 oz serving. Almond milk (water, almonds), sugar, less than 2%: calcium carbonate, gellan gum, carrageenan, potassium citrate, natural flavors, sunflower lecithin, sea salt. Vegan, kosher, gluten free, non gmo

I do not see a kosher symbol on the package, near the nutrition panel or anywhere else, and ou says specifically ‘symbol required.’ kosher really?

This product is kosher, and the symbol can be found on the back of the packaging. It is under the supervision of the kashruth division of the orthodox union.

How much -sugar, sodium and carbs why dont they show the back of the box.?

Small amounts may be less important. Respectively russeeparvin

What is the minimum shelf life on the product purchased through amazon. .

While the price is excellent, my second time purchasing i had a 6-week expiration which was not acceptable. I know others have had this problem too. Until there is some sort of expiration date guarantee from the seller, i unfortunately will not buy again from amazon.

Does it have to be stored in refrigerator?

Our oat barista blend is shelf stable and therefore does not need to be refrigerated before opening.

Can this be used just as a coffee creamer? Or does it need to be frothed? I just drink a cup of regular coffee each morning, not lattes.

Yes, this can be used as a coffee creamer and does not have to be steamed or frothed to enjoy.

Is it kosher parve?

Yes our oat barista blend is kosher pareve, and orthodox union is our rabbinical certifier.

Will you be offering ‘organic’ oat milk anytime in the future?

We don’t have any current plans in the works for an organic option. Stay tuned to www.califiafarms.com and @califiafarms on social media for new product announcements.

Why are they charging me for delivery and i am a prime member?

It’s possible you picked a variety of this item that is not offered by prime. Pay close attention when selecting options like different flavors that it still has the prime symbol under it. If you go in your orders and it says it was supposed to be prime and they charge you shipping i would contact whoever actually shipped it so either a third party or amazon.

How long does this stay shelf stable, unopened?

To clarify, it is supposed to be good for one year, unopened, from the date of production, so with shipping, warehouse and/or store shelf storage, i have always figured 3-6 months from purchase. I buy these multi-packs regularly, go through them easily in that time frame, and have never had any issues. Hope this helps

How do you froth this milk? I have been disappointed

We’re sorry to hear you’re having a problem with our barista blend. Steam does work best for our barista blend products but we do see customers have success using at-home frothers. Our barista blend behaves differently in that it froths better in a mechanical frother when it’s cold rather than hot (same with steaming). Our recommendation would be to froth cold barista blend right out of the refrigerator using a low temperature setting. It’s also important not to over-froth. We recommend playing around to see if this solves the problem.

If you’re using a hand frother, check out these helpful videos from our ‘be your own barista’ series!

The new packaging says – keep refrigerated rather than ‘refrigerate after opening’. Can you confirm – is the new product still shelf stable?

This product is indeed still shelf-stable, so it can be out of the refrigerator until opened.

Can you have it with cereal or just drink it straight? What’s the difference from the regular?

Absolutely! Although our oat barista blend is specifically formulated to steam for lattes, it tastes great on its own.

Is this oatmilk organic?

Our oat barista blend is not organic. While our full line isn’t organic, all califia farms products are 100% plant-based, non-gmo, carrageenan-free, gluten-free, vegan and made with no artificial ingredients. Drink remarkably!

What is the serving size and calorie count?

Serving size 8 fl oz
calories 80 calories from fat 35

Cual es la vida útil de este producto?

The shelf-life of this product is 365 days from manufacture date, and must be used within 7-10 days of opening.

Do the farmers where these oats are grown regular use roundup?

Our almond and oat milk products are third-party certified as glyphosate residue free by the detox project. Learn more here. In the search criteria, type in califia, and you will see all our certified products!

Fantastic

I can’t believe how great this stuff is. So much better than cows milk in every way (which isn’t saying much since cows milk is so disgusting in every way). I buy cases on sale in amazon warehouse (nearing its best by date). It lasts a lot longer than that. 2 people, a bulldog & some cats love it. It’s not just a coffee creamer. It’s great for everything & storage no problem. 16 (32 oz) cartons fit perfectly in regular stackable milk crates… What a coincidence. Thank you dairy industry. It also helps lower our bad cholesterol. Fantastic.

Tasty

The taste can be a bit overwhelming at first. Then you can focus on the oat taste and it gets better. It’s like drinking the milk at the end of a bowl of oatmeal.

I liked having these around for my coffee in case i ran out of milk.

The best milk for espresso drinks i've tried.

This oat milk foams really well and tastes great, adding a subtle nut-like flavor to your beverage. As the name indicates, this oat milk is intended for coffee/espresso drinks. I mostly use it with my breville espresso machine, but have tried it with cold brew, hot coffee, iced coffee and hot/cold espresso drinks, all with tasty results. There is a fair amount of added sugar and it is a little pricey, but holding back on the amount you use is a good solution for both. It is shelf-stable before opening and can keep for several months before use.

Pleasantly surprised.

I have a lot of autoimmune issues and get itchy patches of dermatitis, a stuffy nose, and chest congestion after eating certain foods. My doctor recently told me it might be worth it to try going dairy free and as much as i love dairy i did notice feeling crappy after eating dairy products. I can’t have nut milks because i feel crappy if i eat too many nuts, so i started trying oat milk. I tried the regular califia oat milk and didn’t like it, it tasted burnt to me. I also tried a few others like ripple and didn’t like them either. I stumbled across this barista blend while searching for something else to try.

I really like it and even gave a carton to a friend for her daughter who has a casein allergy because i knew they’d been having a hard time finding something she liked. They were happy with it as well. Her mom even made whipped cream with it and everyone was surprised by how well it turned out.

I use it in my coffee everyday and for cooking/baking. I have some krusteaz gluten free boxed baking mixes and used it to make a cake which was amazing. Usually they end up a little dry but this one was perfectly moist and tasted so good i wanted to scarf the whole thing down right away.

I definitely recommend it, it’s the best dairy alternative i’ve tried so far.

Very nice spiced, sweet oat milk

This didn’t have as much pumpkin flavor as i was hoping, but it’s still super yummy. It’s already sweet enough that i don’t have to add any other sweetener to my coffee when i’d usually add vanilla syrup. It’s more of a spiced flavor, but very good!

My husband says it tastes most like cow's milk.

My husband was looking for something to use in place of cow’s milk. He doesn’t like it in his tea, but he loves it in his coffee.

If you’re a pumpkin spice girlies this is for you

I love this oatmilk blend. I usually do a 1:1 ration of this with cold brew and add a little bit of pumpkin spice creamer on top. It’s delish. I’ll be on my 2nd order soon

Great for travel

First off, i was thrilled to discover oat milk as a dairy alternative. Almond or coconut milks just didn’t taste as good as dairy in my coffee but oat milk is an excellent alternative. I usually buy oatly or planet oat from the grocery store. But i’m so attached to my morning oat latte that i needed a shelf stable version to take on travel. Suffice it to say, oat milk is not yet widely available everywhere. I stumbled onto california farms. The quart size is perfect for packing into your suitcase! The taste is good and it makes for a creamy coffee in a pinch. However, i could not get it to froth in my frother. Might just be my frother but it has no problem frothing the other brands. I will definitely be buying more of this to travel with but for home use, i’ll stick to the grocery brands that froth a bit better.

Good stuff but…

I really think calafia farms makes pretty good products. Not to say others don’t.
I use oat milk in my coffee to get away from dairy as the lactose bothers me and keeps my weight on.
I really loved an oat milk latte i had at peet’s coffee and learned they use pacific foods barista blend (but too pricey)
i was buying calafia farms from the grocery store until i saw the shelf stable cartons which is convenient. It doesn’t take up room in the refrigerator and risk of running out is low. Just go to your pantry for the next carton!
I was going to re-order today but the product went up over $4 for the carton and i think it’s too pricey. It’s only oats! Not nuts! I guess it’s pricing on popularity.
I will be making my own in the blender. I can use organic oats and purified water. It takes 30 seconds (only and not more) you can tweak to your taste if adding salt or a touch of sunflower oil and costs pennies on the dollar.

Tasty- a bit more sugar than i expected

I am addicted to pumpkin chai lattes — starbucks has them but b/c they use the tazo with so much sugar, i had to look for alternatives. This was a bit high in sugar so i actually just use about 1/2 cup of this, with unsweetend oat milk plus no sugar added tazo chai and it works. Since i needed so little of this, i bought it in bulk and it should last me until christmas lol.

Check your expiry dates

I love this oat milk and have it on reorder. Very bummed to notice i was shipped a six pack box within one month of expiry. The next box i just received doesn’t expire until may of 2023. So i assume my last delivery was just super old product which is a bummer; now i’m tossing half of it.

Best oat milk out there

In terms of taste, creaminess, how frothy it gets, the size, it’s all good ! Take one star away for how expensive it is but other than that pretty good.

Pumpkin spice with out the sweetness

I love pumpkin spice foods. So i thought i’d try the pumpkin spice oat milk. I mixed it 3 parts califia cold brew and 2 parts califia pumpkin spice oatmilk over ice. It definitely had a good real pumpkin flavor but was not at all sweet.

4Expert Score
Expiry date

I would give 5 stars if it wasn’t for the fact that we got a 6-pack of milk with expiry date 3 weeks from today… A bit disappointing, there is no way we will drink it all in that time. Previous deliveries were had at least 2-3 months until expiry date.

Just almond milk

I bought it for using as a creamer but it’s basically just almond milk. It says ‘creamer’ but it has about half the thickness of most creamers out there. Tastes fine but if i had knew it was just milk i wouldnt have bought at this price, its about 2.5-3x as much as any other almond milk you would buy.

4Expert Score
Delicious in my coffee

I am sold on oat milk as coffee creamer honestly. It gives my morning mushroom coffee an earthy, almost nutty flavor. The only reason i give it 4 stars is because i expected it to be a bit thicker (that may have been my fault, as i just learned barista blend is generally thinner than regular oat milk). However, the flavor and creamy color it gives my coffee is perfect. And it froths well!

Oat milk ftw!

Oat milk has been a huge game changer for me! I’ve been drinking dairy alternatives for a while now and like many have stated, oat milk seems to be the creamiest and most ‘milk-like’ especially when you are making drinks!

I’ll admit i typically do lean towards buying the oatly brand, but in an effort to save money and to also make less trips to the grocery store these have been a blessing! When i placed my first order for one box of six oat milks i was hesitant. Would it be just as creamy? Would i be upset with my oat milk life choice? Well folks, i have no regrets. I still do love oatly, but the barista blend from califia farms has really met my expectations!

I’ve used this to make matcha lattes, cold foam to top my cold brews, and regular lattes! It works well with my electric whisk and i can see myself buying these in bulk for the foreseeable future!

Arrived quickly and as described. 🙂

update as of 12/5/2020: i opted to do a subscribe & save option for this product because a) it’s a great deal and b) i make so many at-home drinks/lattes that i save so much money in the end. I dropped my product review from five stars to four because upon receiving my most recent box one of the cartons was damaged and close to breaking. It was one out of the six, but still, i’d suggest looking at all cartons once you are in receipt!
