FAQs

Why is goats’ milk so white?

It’s the carotene in cows’ milk that makes it look creamy. Carotene also gives carrots their orange colour. But there’s no carotene in goats’ milk…hence the pure white colour.

Can I use goats’ milk in cooking?

Absolutely! You can use goats’ milk products in exactly the same way as you would use cows’ milk products. So, wake up your cereals with fresh, cold goats’ milk. Splash it in your coffee. Or create something spectacular for a stylish dinner party.

Since I switched to goats' milk, I feel a lot better in myself – why is this?

Can I freeze goats’ milk products?

Fresh goats’ milk freezes very well, ideally on the day of purchase. Store at -18°C for up to two months. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature taking care to put the milk in the fridge as soon as it is thawed then use within two days.
