Our oat, pea and bean-based foods have already captured the hearts of food lovers around the world, and now we’re taking our next big leap. Finland’s leading dairy company, Valio, acquired the Gold&Green brand and product development activities in early 2022. Together, we will continue to bring you new, delicious plant based food moments.
