Flora is a renowned brand of plant-based margarine and spreadable fats designed to provide a healthier alternative to butter. Originally launched in the United Kingdom during the 1960s, it was developed to provide consumers with products high in polyunsaturated fats to promote heart health. The 'Original' variant shown is known for being made with natural ingredients and, increasingly, for being palm oil-free and suitable for vegans.

Over the decades, Flora has transitioned from a dairy-adjacent product to a leading plant-based brand. It was a flagship property of the multinational conglomerate Unilever for many years. However, in 2018, Unilever sold its spreads division to the private equity firm KKR, which established a dedicated company called Upfield to manage these iconic brands.

Today, Flora is produced in various manufacturing facilities around the globe, with major sites in the UK and Europe, ensuring distribution across multiple international markets. The brand continues to focus on sustainability and plant-based innovation under Upfield's leadership.
