Flora Plant Based Alternative to Dairy Butter

Flora is a renowned brand of margarine and plant-based spreads with roots dating back to the 1960s in the United Kingdom. Originally developed by Unilever as a response to health concerns regarding saturated fats, the brand has evolved over decades from a diet-focused margarine to a premium plant-based butter alternative.

Starting in 2018, Unilever sold its spreads division, which included Flora, to the private equity firm KKR. This led to the formation of Upfield, the current global leader in plant-based spreads. Today, Flora products are manufactured across various facilities globally to serve local markets, with significant production centers remaining in Europe and the UK to supply the British and Irish markets. The brand continues to focus on sustainability and plant-based innovation under its modern ownership.
