Why Cream-Top Milk?

The milk sold in stores today is different from what your grandparents drank. Most of the cream has been removed so it lacks the richness of true whole milk.

Real, Unprocessed Milk will Separate

Our Grade A cream-top milk hearkens back to the old-fashioned goodness of an earlier time. Since it’s not homogenized, the cream will rise to the top. Simply give the bottle a quick shake to mix the cream back in and enjoy.

What is Non-Homogenized Milk?

Homogenization is a mechanical process that transforms two separate components of whole milk and cream into one smooth beverage. To accomplish this, fresh milk is pumped through tiny nozzles at high pressure. The pressure tears the fat globules of the cream into tiny particles, which then disperse evenly throughout the milk. These tiny fat particles are extremely susceptible to rancidity, causing an off flavor. Non-homogenized milk does not go through this process, leaving a delicious cream top for you to enjoy.

The Flavor

Non-homogenized milk also has a naturally sweeter richer flavor than homogenized milk because the cream has a silky texture that is lost when the fat globules are broken apart.

Health Benefits of Whole Milk

Most of us have learned from childhood that milk is a great source of calcium, but low-fat trends have given whole milk a bad reputation. The truth is, our bodies need fat in moderation, especially when it is naturally occurring in the food. We can’t absorb essential vitamins without the help of fat. Whole milk is also higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked to health benefits like lowered inflammation and a healthy heart.

So the next time you want to treat yourself, skip the candy bar and crack open one of our flavored milks. Your body will thank you.
