[H3] A Breakfast Tradition Born in 1800

McCann’s® Irish Oatmeal is named for founder, John McCann. In 1800, John built Beamond Mill in County Meath to grind the raw oats harvested on Ireland’s bountiful east coast. The mill was powered with water from the River Nanny, which John loved for its purity, and for its famous trout. As the water wheel turned, John fine-tuned his oatmeal’s flavor and texture to perfection.Over time McCann’s® Irish Oatmeal became known for its uncommon quality, winning several international competitions. It won awards at the Great Exhibition of London in 1851 and Great Industrial Exhibition of Dublin in 1853. It was also lauded at the Philadelphia Exhibition of 1876, where it took first prize, and at the Chicago Exhibition of 1893.In 1896 John’s son, John McCann, Jr., merged with R. R. Hill. Beamond Mill closed in 1898, and the company moved to the nearby port town of Drogheda. In the early 20th century, exports greatly increased, particularly to the U.S. and Canada, where it became a perennial favorite.The company was acquired in 1964 by the Odlums Group, a century-old family company in Sallins, County Kildare which was, and continues to be, an integral part of Irish baking and cooking.The Sallins mill was extensively upgraded in 1995, putting it on par with the finest mills in Europe. It was awarded the Hygiene Mark from Excellence Ireland in 1999, and accredited to ISO 9002 and ISO 14001 standards, ensuring quality as well as environmental sustainability.In 2018, the McCann’s® Irish Oatmeal brand was acquired by B&G Foods, Inc.

[H1] Authenticity. Tradition. Quality. Irish.

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.

[H2] Irish oats: The gold standard

Some of the best oats in the world come from County Kildare and County Meath, Ireland, where all of McCann’s® oats are grown. The region‘s moist, temperate climate provides ideal growing conditions, while its pure water and rich soil boost the oats’ nutritional value.

[H2] From the Emerald Isle, the finest oats

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.

[H2] The Irish know their oats

Ireland is often associated with potatoes, but in fact, potatoes were only introduced in Ireland around 1590. Oats go back much further. Based on references to oatmeal found in the Great Code of Civil Law, the Irish have been cultivating oats since around 438 A.D. There is evidence that even before this date, porridge was recognized in Europe as a characteristically Irish food. Since then, Irish oatmeal has changed very little: the porridge enjoyed by Irish people centuries ago was quite similar to the hot oatmeal in your bowl today.
