How NZ's newfound love of fat is changing the colour of cattle

TLDR: Kiwi consumers smarter than Kiwi scientists when it comes to saturated fat Quote:

That sounds great!!
Nice to read this, we're making progress then. More yummy butter and cream for all of us :yum: Soon low-fat milk will be banished from the stores and only fed to hogs as was it's use before they convinced humans to consume it... |
Love Jerseys!!! They are a small fawn colored cow with the cutest face....and the milk with the highest milk fat.
Jerseys are an A2 producer too as I remember. IMO this fad will not die out...... |
Now if they could just get more whole fat/no sugar yogurt in the stores, other than in the big tub. I wouldn't mind some flavored stuff with stevia or something too. That Triple Zero stuff has the weirdest mouth feel, and too sweet. I choke it down sometimes just for a quick protein fix, or mix it with kefir but it's still not good.

I've just been starting to see A2 milk in a regional store. I don't drink milk anymore but I bought some A2 whey protein, and the flavor seemed reminiscent of milk I remembered in my childhood. I remember seeing more "brown cows" on the farms back then. |
OMG that Professor Jackson is just so precious!

I struggle to find good yogurt-- I actually must go to WHole Foods, gup. I did see individual serving sizes--- for a small fortune. double gulp. Yes, often jerseys were kept to add the butterfat that the Holsteins dont produce. Oddly, the milk is sold by the hundred weight based on the butter fat content. Odd as the government was squashing fat consumptionf for a while , some 40 years. Obviously with some countries now running short on butter, these Jersey girls have regained popularity. Last I knew, RUssia was building a 100,000 dairy facility on the border of China--- help feed their diabetes epidemic. Saddly. Likely to be Holsteins. I would be cautious about introducing this milk to people that are not milk drinkers. ANd if they do, it is the old cattle like a yak mostly likely. |
I've seen this yogurt in local stores lately - siggi's - "thick, creamy, and rich in protein, skyr is the traditional yogurt of Iceland". It's all been the nonfat stuff, but it seems they make full fat yogurt and even unsweetened yogurt and "triple cream" yogurt, only that one has sugar. https://siggis.com/products/#?productSection=skyr
I have an Instant Pot and an easy-peasy recipe to make it cold, with Fairlife milk which has extra protein and fewer carbs. I could do that. Or strain the whey out of the big tub of Stoneyfield, but sometimes I just want to grab a small cup at the store, dammit. Before I stopped eating sugar, I used to buy Chobani by the case at Costco. Loved the peach flavor. |
Love Siggi-- on sale.
I really wish flavored individual serving without added sugar..... that would be good for my kids. Organic Valley is pretty good. Not like Siggi-- that is gourmet quality dessert stufff. But a good option IMO. No A2 yogurts yet. Maybe in another year. |

They look almost like deer. |
Yes!!! Very cute babies. Moms are quite small, for a dairy cow.

Whole Foods carries Traders Point Creamery. I first found it in quart bottles there. It's largely A2. I read an article (can't find it right now) where they were talking about moving the herd to all A2. Here's their FAQ about the herd Quote:

I'm guessing even Siggi's is made from A1 milk? Unless it's Jersey milk not the more common Holstein? Not actually planning to buy it presently, since I suspect I may be sensitive to A1 casein. Other common brands of whole milk yogurt didn't seem to work for me and I suspect that might be why. The raw milk dairy closest by genetically tested all their cows and posted a discreet list for those interested in knowing. Discreet meaning it's not obvious what the list refers to unless you ask the farmer. He has some non-A2 Jerseys that are good milkers he'd like to sell from for those who don't have a preference. I've made fermented milk products from his A2 milk, since I haven't seen any at the stores.
