Core offering

Elmhurst 1925 manufactures and sells clean-label plant-based beverages including plant milks (cashew, almond, oat, pistachio, walnut, hazelnut, and coconut varieties), barista-formulated plant milks for coffee applications, oat and cashew coffee creamers, ready-to-drink lattes with Arabica cold brew, and the Clean Protein line of ready-to-drink protein shakes with 27g of plant protein per serving. The company also offers a plant-based sour cream alternative and merchandise. All products are produced using the proprietary HydroRelease™ milling process, which uses only water to separate and reassemble whole ingredients into creamy beverages without gums, emulsifiers, or seed oils, and are sold through DTC e-commerce, natural food retailers, and mainstream grocery chains across the US and Canada.

Product overview

Elmhurst 1925 is a plant-based food and beverage company that transitioned from a 90-year-old New York dairy (closed in 2016, relaunched as plant-based in 2017). The company uses a proprietary HydroRelease™ milling process that transforms whole grains, nuts, and seeds into creamy beverages without gums or emulsifiers. The product portfolio centers on clean-label plant milks (cashew, almond, oat, pistachio, walnut, hazelnut, coconut varieties), supplemented by Barista Editions optimized for coffee applications, coffee creamers (oat and cashew bases in multiple flavors), ready-to-drink lattes made with Arabica cold brew, and the recently launched Clean Protein line of ready-to-drink protein shakes with 27g plant protein. Additional offerings include plant-based sour cream, seasonal botanical blends, and merchandise. All products are Non-GMO Verified, FDA Gluten-Free, dairy-free, vegan, and Kosher certified.
