Our milk is as close to how nature intended it to be, it is:
- Gently Pasteurised,
- Non-Homogenised,
- Non-Standardised
- Smooth
- Creamy
- Farm Fresh
- Sustainable
We process our milk differently to the larger creameries. We gently pasteurise our milk which means we heat it to 63°C for 30 minutes which is a lower temperature for longer. In comparison, the larger creameries process their milk at 72°C for 15 seconds, known as flash pasteurisation.
Larger creameries also homogenise milk, this involves milk being pumped through small openings under very high pressure. The aim of this is to reduce the size of the fat globule into minuscule portions so that it is dispersed evenly through the milk. This then means that the cream within the milk will not rise to the top as it has been broken down.
Our milk has also not been standardised. Standardisation means that all the fat is removed from the milk then gradually fed back in to a certain percentage (3.7% fat). Our milk is usually between 4.0-4.5% Fat depending on the time of year.
