IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Pasteurisation means heating the milk to make sure there are no harmful bacteria which could cause illness. We gently pasteurise our milk at 65 degrees for 30 minutes to make sure it is completely safe.

It might be easier to explain what homogenisation means! Most milk you buy has been homogenised, which means breaking down the cream molecules so that they are evenly distributed through the milk, rather than rising to the top. We don't homogenise our milk, so you still get the lovely cream on the top and this means it tastes great. Remember to shake the bottle to mix it up (unless you want the 'top of the milk' in your coffee!)

No. Raw milk means that it hasn't been pasteurised. As we explain above, pasteurisation makes the milk completely safe to drink. We think our milk tastes as close to the taste of raw milk as it is possible to be.

We don't do anything to the milk except pasteurise it, so Proper Good Dairy is Whole Milk. Nothing added, nothing taken away. It is a natural product which varies throught the year but on average the fat content is 4%. That means it is 96% FAT FREE! There is also science based evidence to show that there is a lower incidence of cardio vascular disease in people who drink whole milk.

We don't sell cream because we don't skim anything off the milk, so unfortunately we don't have any cream to sell. If you are patient you will find that the cream rises to the top of your milk bottle and can be spooned off carefully.

After finishing the milk, give the bottle a quick rinse with warm (not hot) water, to get rid of any milky residue. Then, either pop it in the centre of the bottom rack of the dishwasher, or wash it with hot soapy water as you do your washing up. Make sure the lid is clean too – it can go in the dishwasher or be washed in the sink. Don’t forget to bring it back to refill at our vending machine!

At Proper Good Dairy our milk is as fresh as it is possible to be. On the bottle we make a recommendation that you consume your Proper Good Dairy withing 3-4 days of filling. We often find that it lasts longer than this, and shelf life testing has indicated it should last up to six days. If you buy our milk in bottles from a shop there will be a use by label on the lid.

Yes! Every June, we open our farm gates for Open Farm Sunday, which is an initiative to encourage the public to visit farms and find out where their food comes from. The next Open Farm Sunday is on 12th June 2022. We hope to arrange smaller group visits on an occasional basis. To keep up to date with what we are up to, sign up for our newsletter.
