About the company
Flahavan's has been milling oats in Co. Waterford for over 200 years. As the oldest privately-owned family food company in Ireland, Flahavan's is synonymous with Irishness, tradition and authenticity. With a longstanding commitment to local sourcing, Flahavan's sources its conventional oats from a panel of registered growers based within a 60-mile radius of its Mill in Kilmacthomas, while its unique milling process, honed through generations, gives its products their distinctive texture and taste. Flahavan's has pioneered a dramatic change in the way consumers think about oat-based foods and their compelling health benefits. This is achieved by continually staying close to the consumer and identifying, understanding and responding to their emerging health and lifestyle needs, through new innovative products and formats.
