Oatly Barista Blend Oat Milk 946mL Case: Plant-Based for Canadian Food Service
Oatly Barista Blend Oat Milk 946mL 12/CASE is a shelf-stable, plant-based beverage for Canadian convenience stores, vending operators, hotels, event concessions, offices, and schools. It is ideal for coffee beverages, lattes, smoothies, and cereal service. ChickenPieces.com ships this Oatly oat milk Canada-wide from Calgary.
Oatly Barista Blend is the oat milk we sell to most of the Calgary cafés and hotel groups on this page. The 946mL carton hits the sweet spot for espresso bars that don't want to babysit a bag-in-box, and the 12-case format keeps reordering sane during a busy month.
Oatly Barista Blend Oat Milk 946mL - Plant-Based, Dairy-Free, Vegan, Nut-Free, Shelf-Stable -12/CASE: Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
This is the version of Oatly that's built for steam wands, not the cereal aisle. Higher fat content, a specific protein structure, and enough body to hold microfoam through a 12-hour service. If you've got dairy-free, vegan, or nut-free guests on the menu, this is what you put out.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.
"One Calgary hotel I work with switched their in-room coffee stations over to the 946mL cartons and hasn't gone back. The 12-case format means housekeeping isn't running to the loading dock every other day. On the espresso side, it steams predictably, which is the operators actually care about."
If you're running a Canadian food service operation, you've probably been asked for a non-dairy option that doesn't taste like cardboard. This is that option. Cafés pull consistent shots through it, hotels stock it in-room without worrying about the cooler going down, and the shelf-stable packaging means it sits in your dry store until you crack the seal.

Quality & Specifications
Creamy liquid, mild oat flavour, subtle sweetness. Each 946mL carton pulls the same as the last one, which is what you want when your barista is steaming 200 cups before noon. Twelve to a case is enough to get through a weekend brunch rush without a panic order.
Beverage Service Applications
Oat lattes, dairy-free cappuccinos, vegan hot chocolate, breakfast smoothies, cereal service at the hotel buffet. It also works in grab-and-go coolers at convenience stores and office pantries where someone always grabs the wrong carton.
Storage & Handling
Unopened cartons are shelf-stable, so they sit in a dry storeroom until you need them. That alone saves a lot of cooler space. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 5-7 days.
Canadian Sourcing
We keep stock at our Calgary warehouse and ship to all 10 provinces and 3 territories. It's one of the plant-based items we reorder on a tight cycle because demand keeps climbing.
