The Benefits of Fresh Raw Milk

Fresh milk from a well-managed dairy farm is one of the most nutritious foods you can put on the table. It is a natural source of protein, calcium and other nutrients that growing children and adults both need.

Why fresh matters

The shorter the journey from cow to cup, the better the taste. Milk that is cooled quickly and handled in clean containers keeps its flavour and quality. That is why we focus on hygiene at every step of milking and storage.

Keep it safe

Raw milk can carry bacteria that cause illness, especially in children, older people, pregnant women and anyone with a weakened immune system. Health authorities generally advise heating milk before drinking it.

• Boil raw milk until it has been bubbling for a minute or two, then cool it quickly.
• Keep milk refrigerated and use clean, covered containers.
• Use fresh milk within the time we advise when you buy it.

Beyond the glass

Fresh milk is also the starting point for yoghurt, butter and cheese. Ask us about our current range, and we will tell you what is available this week.
