Product Information

Start your day with the rich, creamy goodness of Douglasdale Full Cream Milk 2L, pasteurised and homogenised to ensure premium quality and a smooth taste. This farm-fresh 2L bottle is a nutrient-dense household staple, specifically formulated to maintain its superior flavour even when stored frozen for future use.

The Douglasdale Full Cream Milk 2L is a pasteurised and homogenised whole milk product sourced from local herds. This fresh dairy staple is processed using High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) pasteurisation to eliminate pathogens while retaining natural vitamins and minerals, providing a rich, full-bodied flavour and consistent 3.4% fat content for everyday household use.

 

Product Specifications and Features

  • Pasteurisation and Homogenisation: Subjected to a precise heating and cooling cycle to ensure microbiological safety, followed by the breaking down of fat molecules to prevent cream separation and ensure a consistent, smooth texture.
  • rBST Hormone Free: Produced from cows that are strictly not treated with recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST), meeting consumer demand for natural dairy production methods.
  • HACCP and Food Safety Certified: Manufactured in facilities that adhere to international Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) standards, ensuring rigorous quality control from farm to bottle.

Ideal Use

  • Nutritional Family Cooking: The high fat content makes it the preferred ingredient for creamy white sauces, homemade béchamel, and traditional puddings, providing necessary richness and body.
  • Hot Beverage Preparation: Delivers a superior, stable foam for barista-style cappuccinos and lattes, and softens the tannins in strong South African black teas without curdling.
  • Breakfast Sustenance: An essential base for porridge, muesli, and breakfast cereals, ensuring that both children and adults receive a concentrated dose of dairy protein and calcium to start the day.
  • Home Baking: Enhances the crumb structure and moisture levels in scones, cakes, and muffins, resulting in a more tender texture compared to low-fat or fat-free alternatives.

Safety and Storage Precautions

  • Strict Cold Chain Management: Must be kept refrigerated at or below 5°C at all times to prevent the growth of spoilage bacteria and maintain the fresh farm taste.
  • Freezing Instructions: Can be frozen for up to three months; pour out a small amount (approx. 125ml) before freezing to allow for liquid expansion and prevent the bottle from splitting.
  • Thawing Protocol: Always defrost slowly in the refrigerator for 24 hours rather than at room temperature; shake the bottle vigorously after thawing to re-incorporate any separated fat solids.
  • Allergen Warning: Contains Cow's Milk; individuals with diagnosed dairy allergies or severe lactose intolerance should seek suitable plant-based or lactose-free alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Douglasdale milk Halaal and Kosher? Yes, this product is Kosher- and Halaal-friendly, produced under strict supervision to meet the dietary requirements of South African religious communities.
  • Why is my milk not forming a cream layer? The milk is homogenised, a process that permanently emulsifies the fat so it remains evenly distributed throughout the bottle instead of rising to the top.
  • Does this milk contain any preservatives? No, Douglasdale milk is preservative-free; its shelf life is maintained purely through the pasteurisation process and a continuous cold chain.
