Milk

An important message from our supplier Cotteswold Dairy

The collaboration with industry professionals is as we look at efficiently reducing our carbon footprint.Through discussion groups the farmers are able to look at areas of their bussiness that could benefit.However this is NOT by feeding Bovaer.

Cotteswold milk is gently pasteurised to keep its high quality and taste for you to enjoy.

Our milk comes from Cotteswold Dairy in Tewkesbury, which is also a family run business with a strict policy of real service and top quality produce.

Working with local farmers within a 40 mile radius of the dairy, means that they are able to supply the highest quality milk and produce to us.

All of their contracted farmers are members of the National Dairy Farm Assured Scheme and as such they must comply with a large number of standards in order to ensure that their herd is properly nourished and cared for.

All incoming raw milk is tested daily in their own in house laboratory and is also tested by an independent laboratory once a week.
