The Oatmeal of Alford - renowned for it's
'nutty and crisp texture and flavour' is produced at Montgarrie mill, Alford in the heart of
Aberdeenshire in the rich agricultural lands of north-east Scotland.
The oatmeal has been made in the same way for over a century, using the best of
Scottish oats which are renowned for their superior quality.
It's flavour can be attributed to the final drying out process - carried out in the old fashioned 'flat kiln', which is believed to be the only one of it's kind used in Britain today. The oats are dried in the kiln for four hours and they are turned twice by hand shovel during that time. It is this very specialized process, perfected by the miller, which makes the flavour of our oatmeal unique.
Milling then takes place when the oats pass through various millstones and sieves to make our final product of oatmeal.
The Oatmeal of Alford is then packed and dispatched to bring you it's traditional flavour which has been perfected by the milling techniques handed down for over a century.
