Flavoured Milk
This wonderful range of organic flavoured milks from Daioni, another Welsh organic milk co-operrative, is available in four flavours - strawberry, banana, chocolate and cranberry/raspberry. About as healthy and delicious a drink as you can get! this is simply a superb drink - you can just taste the fresh fruit or real chocolate, with no nasty artificial flavours or additives!
They are ideal as children's drinks, with packed lunches, or just instead of a sweet fizzy drink.
The drink is 98.3% fat-free; has no artificial additives or colourings; low sugar content (at 4.5%, it is well below most flavoured milks which are 10-12%, and is considered low enough for diabetics). It has a long shelf life and can be stored at ambient temperature until opened.
Available in individual packs of 125 or 250 mls, or in multi-packs of 24 or 44 drinks.

| Caws Cenarth Cheeses In the heart of West Wales, is a small family enterprise - Caws Cenarth Cheese, run by Gwynfor and Thelma Adams who have been farming for over 42 years. The cheesemaking business was established in April 1987 as a response to the E.C milk quotas which had threatened the viability of the family farm. Thelma and Gwynfor's initiative is acknowledged to have instigated and led the revival of Welsh Farmhouse Caerffili and Caws Cenarth is now the oldest established producer of Welsh Farmhouse Caerffili. | |||

"Take the milk of 12 cows in the morning and the evening cream of 12 cows, and pour into it 3 spoonfuls of rennet, and when it is come [i.e. the curd] break it, and whey it, and when it is well wheyed, break it again, and work into the curd 3lbs of fresh butter, and put it in your press, and turn it in the press for an hour, or more, and change the cloths, and wash them every time you change them. Let it lie 30 or 40 hours in the press, according to the thickness of the cheese; then take it out and wash it in whey, and lay it in a dry cloth till it is dry, then lay it on your shelf, and turn it often."

"Butter of the richest quality and flavour and appearance can be made from sweet cream. Were such butter not super-excellent, would noblemen have it on their tables every morning ? I consider butter out of the churn from sweet cream, and before it is handled, the most delicious. For my own use I would never desire better butter all the year round than that churned every morning from sweet cream. Such butter on a new cool baked oatcake, sweetened with flower virgin honey, accompanied with a cup of hot, strong coffee, modified with crystallised sugar and fresh cream, is a breakfast worth partaking of."
