Fresh, Full-Cream Milk

Fresh, full-cream milk from our family farm in Hamurana, just outside Rotorua. Our herd is selected for A2/A2 beta-casein genetics, so the milk naturally contains the A2 form of beta-casein protein. We keep processing deliberately simple: the milk is gently batch pasteurised, rapidly cooled and bottled. It is unhomogenised and non-standardised, so the cream naturally rises to the top.

Farm Fresh Milk From A2/A2 Cows

What Does A2/A2 Mean?

Beta-casein is one of the proteins naturally found in cow’s milk. Different cows carry different beta-casein genetic variants. Our milk comes from cows selected for the A2/A2 beta-casein genotype, so they produce the A2 form rather than a combination of A1 and A2 beta-casein.

How We Process Our Milk

Fresh milk from our A2/A2 herd is collected on our farm, gently batch pasteurised, rapidly cooled and bottled. Our process is deliberately simple: no homogenisation, no standardisation and no unnecessary additives.

Because the milk is unhomogenised, the milk-fat globules naturally rise and form a cream layer at the top. Shake the bottle if you prefer the cream mixed back through.

Our milk is available in reusable glass bottles and larger reusable containers for cafés, hotels, workplaces and other high-volume users. Our short farm-to-creamery process keeps the supply chain local and allows us to bottle fresh milk from our own cows.
