Milking is carried out in automated, hygienic parlours, after which the milk is immediately chilled, processed and packed without exposure to external contamination. It is then delivered through a strict cold-chain system to preserve its natural freshness and stable texture.

Sarda Farms emphasizes the complete absence of hormones and antibiotics, and milk from unwell cows is never mixed with the main batch.

Even in winter, they are fed with the highest quality of nutrients, particularly sun-dried hay. The abundance of plants in this area is crucial for the exceptional quality and flavor of the milk, which is rich in healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. Used in the production of hard cheeses and chocolate, this high-quality raw milk delights with its refined and outstanding flavor.Expand

Sitaka is a traditional dairy product that originates from the Dodecanese islands in Greece, particularly from the island of Kasos. It is a unique soft cheese with a yogurt texture, made from goat's or sheep's milk. Sitaka is known for its rich, creamy texture, which is similar to clotted cream, making it spreadable and perfect for a variety of uses. The flavor of sitaka is tangy and slightly sour, with a buttery undertone that comes from the slow fermentation process. Its production involves cooking milk gently until it thickens, allowing the cream to rise to the top. After straining the mixture, the fat is skimmed off, resulting in sitaka. The final product undergoes fermentation, which gives it its distinctive taste. Sitaka is traditionally served in a dish called makaronia me sitaka, where it is mixed with thick pasta and often topped with fried onions. It is also enjoyed spread on bread or crackers, sometimes with a drizzle of honey to balance its tanginess. Additionally, sitaka can be used as a dip or paired with appetizers, making it a versatile and beloved part of the local cuisine on the Dodecanese islands.Expand

Camel herding is deeply rooted in the life, culture, and tradition of the Karrayyu, an ancient nomadic pastoralist tribe living in Ethiopia. Karrayyu herders residing in the Fantalle district have a long tradition of camel milking, camel milk production, and consumption of fresh camel milk, which, along with barley, has been an essential food source for the tribe. Milking typically happens twice a day, and the milk is traditionally collected in grass-woven vessels before being sold in nearby towns. Distinguished by a unique, savory, and aromatic flavor, fresh Karrayyu herder’s milk has a pure white color and thick foam on its surface. Camel milk has a lighter consistency, lower fat content, and higher nutritional value than cow’s milk, and it has been highly-prized for possessing excellent healing properties. Cheese, yogurt, or other processed milk products haven’t been produced from camel milk in the past, although attempts to change this have been made in recent years. Aside from the Karrayyu nomadic herders, the Somalis are also extremely fond of camel milk, which they often combine with ginger, cinnamon, and sugar into a flavor-packed beverage that is offered at their small shops. Unfortunately, the survival of the Karrayyu camel herds and the production of this delicacy are threatened by climate change and drastically reduced lands caused by the expansion of sugarcane plantations and wildlife conservation schemes.Expand

Grand tomachon is a bloomy rind, cow's milk, press-drained cheese produced in Auvergne. Its roots lie in the dairying culture of the region where local producers shaped and aged semi-hard cheeses for local markets, and over time grand tomachon became distinguished for its relatively brief maturation and characteristic rind. In its manufacture whole or thermised cow’s milk is coagulated, the curd cut and placed into flat cylindrical moulds measuring roughly 32 cm (12 inches) in diameter and about 7 cm (3 inches) in height, then lightly pressed and drained, salted, and matured for around five to six weeks until the rind develops a grey, slightly “flowered” appearance and faint yellow spots signify readiness. The paste inside is semi-firm, shows scattered small eyes, and offers a lactic, mildly nutty profile with subtle cellar or undergrowth notes. Variants of grand tomachon involve differences in aging duration—short-aged wheels maintain firmer texture and fresher lactone notes while those aged at the upper limit of six weeks soften more and deepen in aroma—and some producers may alter the crust-rubbing process or the humidity during maturation to affect rind develop­ment and flavor intensity. A notable feature of this cheese lies in its size and rind type: much larger than typical tommes at around 6 kg (13 lb) and bearing a grey bloomy rind rather than a washed or waxed coating, giving it its distinctive look and profile. Grand tomachon is best enjoyed at room temperature on a cheese board or as part of a meal, served with country bread and fresh fruit or raw vegetables, and pairs well with a crisp white wine such as a regional Chardonnay or an AOC red like Saint-Pourçain, both of which can complement its smooth texture and gentle flavor.Expand

Jersey milk is the rich, creamy milk produced by Jersey cattle, a heritage breed originally from the island of Jersey in the English Channel. Revered for its naturally high butterfat content, Jersey milk stands apart from standard cow’s milk in both taste and texture, offering a deeper flavor, greater nutritional value, and a natural golden hue. One of the defining characteristics of Jersey milk is its richness: it typically contains over 5% butterfat and higher levels of protein compared to milk from other dairy breeds. This makes it especially prized for producing premium dairy products, including butter, cream, and artisanal cheeses. Its velvety mouthfeel and subtle natural sweetness have earned it a loyal following among chefs, artisan producers, and milk enthusiasts alike. Beyond its culinary appeal, Jersey milk is also valued for its digestibility. It often contains a higher proportion of the A2 beta-casein protein, which some believe is easier to digest compared to the A1 proteins found in most standard milk. Though not exclusive to Jersey cows, this characteristic has further contributed to its growing popularity.Expand

Ländle rheintaler is a semi-hard cheese made with cow's milk. It is firm, smooth, melts, and a bit spicy. The cheese typically ages about four months and comes in 8 kilos (17.6 lbs) wheels.

The cheese's production follows traditional methods, ensuring a high-quality product that reflects the culinary heritage of the region.Expand
