Our ingredients can bring diverse flavor notes and creaminess while addressing common challenges like texture. Choose from our huge array of nut, dairy, cocoa and soluble coffee ingredients designed to suit regional tastes.

Ready-to-mix

Achieving the right flavor, ingredient stability and shelf life for ready-to-mix (RTM) beverages is no easy task. Tap into ofi’s expertise and we can help you cater to the precise needs of your market. How about blending soluble coffee or cocoa with nut powder and a vegan creamer for a tasty, foamy 3-in-1 powder mix?

Hot beverages

Smooth, flavorsome, satisfying. For a hot drink that does it all, look to our wide selection of ingredients, including soluble coffee, cocoa and spices. We offer consistent quality at scale for creating the best hot coffees, chocolates, lattes and spiced teas.

Cold beverages

Easy on the eye, refreshing on the tongue. Our innovation experts can help you create cold beverages with the perfect color and flavor. Savory nut beverages or iced tea produced from coffee cascara – you name it, we can make it.

Dairy alternative drinks

Plant-based beverages can be so much more than a dairy substitute – the buzz around innovation is reaching new highs. For example, our barista-grade nut beverages offer a well-rounded taste profile and are specially formulated for stability at high temperatures. For indulgence, look no further than our plant-based chocolate drinks.

Green coffees

Sourcing from a large network of farmers across 18 countries, the stories behind our coffee are not just about aroma, taste and quality, but also traceability, profitable farmers and biodiverse eco-systems.

Dairy ingredients

With our extensive range of dairy ingredients, we aim to become your preferred co-creation partner. We offer customized solutions for everything from flavored milk to drinkable yogurt and shakes. Choose from our milk powders and derivatives in a variety of compositions.

Cocoa powders

Fruity or bitter, vibrant red to dark brown and black, we never take cocoa powder for granted. The key to so many tasty drinks, make sure you have the right type to get exceptional results. How about premium single-origin cocoa that can offer elevated transparency and luxurious taste profiles?

Nut butters & pastes

Our wide portfolio of nut butters and pastes can create creamy beverages that bring a health halo and unique taste experiences to your consumers. Take your pick from almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, peanuts, pistachios, walnuts and macadamias.

Almond flour

Consumers are buzzing about plant-based premix beverages, but companies still struggle with balancing taste and texture. Our almond protein powder can be the answer, improving the creaminess of your lattes, smoothies and shakes while providing a mouthwatering flavor.

Cashew flour

Our cashew flours and powders are made from the finest quality nut. Gluten-free, nutrient-rich and with a neutral taste, this versatile ingredient can be the perfect base for rich and creamy plant-based drinks. Magic happens where our cashew powder meets cocoa – and that's just the start.

Nut oils

It’s time for an oil change. Our oils can set your plant-based beverages apart with a variety of creamy textures. Whether you want an option that blends seamlessly into the background or one that takes a starring role in flavor, we can help.

Rishi Kalra, Executive Director and Group CFO at ofi quoted in Financial Times curtain raiser article ahead of COP 16

For Olam Food Ingredients, one of the world’s biggest suppliers of food and drink ingredients, the alarm rang with the bees.

As one of the world’s largest almond growers, OFI says it spends between $8mn and $11mn a year on honeybees needed to pollinate almond trees. Despite this, productivity on the farms started to decline “because the bees were stressed by their industrialised environment”, says Rishi Kalra, executive director and group chief financial officer. “So, we worked with partners to create natural habitats for bees on our farms and reduce their exposure to agrichemicals. What we saw was that productivity steadily increased.”
