In the world of coffee, the choice of milk can make or break your favourite hot beverage.
With the rise of plant-based diets and lactose intolerance awareness, plant milks have become popular alternatives to dairy.
Among them, almond milk barista blends have gained significant attention.
But not all almond milks are created equal. Mandolé Orchard Barista Almond Milk sets a new standard, surpassing other plant milks like oat, coconut and soy in taste, nutritional value, and sustainability and is the only award-winning Barista Almond Milk in the market.
The Mandolé Orchard Difference
Superior Almond Content
Many almond milk brands in Australia contain only 2-3% almonds, relying heavily on additives and sweeteners to enhance flavour and texture. In contrast, Mandolé Orchard Barista Almond Milk has 6% almonds, delivering a richer, more authentic almond taste.
Our almonds are grown exclusively on our family farm in Griffith, NSW, ensuring quality and freshness from orchard to bottle.
Freshness and Natural Ingredients
Unlike long-life plant milks that undergo ultra-high-temperature processing, Mandolé Orchard Almond Milk is fresh, natural, and clean.
We avoid unnecessary additives and preservatives, focusing on delivering a product that's as close to nature as possible.
This commitment to purity means our almond milk retains more of the almonds' natural nutrients, including powerful plant protein, vitamin E, magnesium and heart-healthy fats.
Sustainability at Heart
At Mandolé Orchard, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's our way of life.
We have implemented multiple eco-friendly practices in our operations.
One standout initiative is our water recycling system. We clean and recycle the water used in our factory, returning it to irrigate our almond trees. This closed-loop system conserves water and nurtures the very trees that produce our premium almonds.

Oat Milk
- Taste and Texture: Naturally sweet with a thicker consistency however, commercial oat milks often contain added ingredients to enhance flavour and texture.
- Nutritional Value: Lower in protein compared to almond milk. May have added inflammatory oils and emulsifiers.
- Carb Heavy: Oat milk is higher in carbohydrates and calories compared to other plant-based milks, which can lead to blood sugar spikes and may cause bloating in some individuals.
- Environmental Impact: Oat cultivation requires significant land use but generally less water than some other crops. The soil disturbance of oat cropping can contribute to soil erosion.
Coconut Milk
- Taste and Texture: Distinct coconut flavour that can overshadow the coffee taste. Creamy but can separate when mixed with hot liquids.
- Nutritional Value: Higher in saturated fats. Lower in protein and calcium unless fortified.
- Allergen-Friendly: Suitable for those with nut allergies, but not ideal for those watching saturated fat intake.
