McCann’s Irish Oatmeal was born in Ireland more than 150 years ago. We’re proud of our Irish roots, the land, and the people who have made McCann’s Irish Oatmeal a staple in millions of households. To this day, our oats are grown in Ireland. In fact, some of our farmers have lovingly tilled the same family farmland for generations, giving McCann’s Irish Oatmeal its undeniable authenticity.
Our commitment to authenticity is both a tradition, and an ongoing mission. Exacting quality standards have preserved the purity and wholesomeness of our products over the decades. And, the versatility of the marvelous Irish oat has inspired us to expand the repertoire of delicious oat dishes far beyond the classic hot cereal. You might be surprised to see what else our Irish oats can do.
Born in Ireland, beloved worldwide
There are many places in the world where a unique combination of climate, soil, water, rainfall and elevation produce distinctive delicacies: Mexican chilies, Turkish dates, Greek olives, French wine, Colombian coffee-the list goes on, and it most certainly includes Irish oats.
The precise climatic conditions and topography needed to produce some of the finest oats in the world are found in abundance in the lush Irish countryside. This is especially so in County Kildare and County Meath, where all of McCann’s oats are grown.
The region’s temperate climate and strong rainfall produce plump, full grains, perfect for milling. Pure water from its many rivers, which feed into the Irish Sea, and rich, fertile soil boost the oats’ nutritional value. The grains ripen slowly, giving them more time to absorb nutrients from the soil. Along with rich texture and nutty flavor, this natural process yields oats that are nutritious.
