The Oatmeal of Alford is produced at Montgarrie Mill Alford, in the heart of Aberdeenshire in the rich agricultural lands of Northeast Scotland. The Master Miller, Donald MacDonald, mills as his great grandfather did, using the best of Scottish oats which are renowned for their superior quality due to the extra hours of daylight from which Scotland benefits. This very specialized process, perfected by the miller, makes the flavor of this stone-ground oatmeal unique.

The oatmeal has a traditional, crisp, and nutty texture and flavor, which has been perfected by the skilled master milling techniques handed down through the generations of the MacDonald family. These are same cut as Steel Cut Oats and they are called pinhead oats because they are cut to the size of pinhead.

This oatmeal is a warming, delicious and healthful breakfast treat, but also has many uses beyond breakfast. On the package, you'll find recipes for four traditional Scottish dishes. A traditional porridge recipe, an oat coated herring and oatmeal recipe (which translates well to all fresh fish), fresh oatcakes to accompany cheese and Skirlie, a savory stuffing or accompaniment to meats.

The oatmeal can be cooked quickly and easily in an Instant-pot. You 2.5 cups of water for 1 cup of oats. The suggested cooking time is 10 min high pressure and 10 minutes natural release.

Every so often, I enjoy oatmeal for breakfast. When I do, I enjoy Oatmeal of Alford. It is amazingly creamy compared to instant oatmeal, and makes a great breakfast with some dried fruit, nuts, and brown sugar mixed in. Preparation takes some time, but I always use the Porridge Setting on the Instant Pot, and it is ready in about 10 minutes.

Creamy Porridge

I was a customer and fan of Oatmeal of Alford Pin Oats since the day I could locate them here at Chelsea Market. With the mill fire causing a loss of the pin oats from them, I thought that was the end of Oatmeal of Alford. Thank goodness that is not the case as they can still produce their medium oats and other products which previously were not available to the US market! I ordered this medium oatmeal and can honestly say it is my #1 over pin oats! Creamy porridge with a mouthfeel that reminds me somewhat of cream of wheat, along with a little chew that is a little similar to their "pins". Add a delish clean taste as well that makes these oats excellent and not off putting like other brands. Quick to prepare and you will enjoy!!
