Guernsey milk

Guernseys have a reputation for fine quality producing rich yellow colored milk that has earned them the title of “Golden Guernsey.” Anyone who has tried this beautiful golden milk of the Guernsey cow knows it possesses something “special.” Through research, we are learning more each day about the value of Guernsey’s golden milk. We have recently started making artisan butter under the Royal Guernsey brand.

What Makes Guernsey Milk Great

  • High in beta carotene

    Well known as an antioxidant that improves vision and heart and lung function, beta carotene may help protect against heart disease and reduce the risk of some cancers.

  • Nutrient Dense

    Guernsey milk is rich in protein, butterfat and vitamins. When you drink Guernsey milk, you get 12 % more protein; 33% more vitamin D; 25% more vitamin A; 30% more cream; and 15% more calcium.

  • Easy to digest

    Most Guernseys naturally produce the beta casein A2A2 protein, which can be easier to digest for the lactose intolerant. Anecdotal evidence also shows A2A2 milk helps reduce the incidence of autoimmune disease, heart disease, type 1 diabetes, autism and schizophrenia.

  • Better cheese quality

    Research shows that more than half of all Guernseys carry the  kappa casein “B” gene, which is linked to higher protein yield and may lead to a firmer curd in cheesemaking. Additionally, the  high butterfat content lends a creamy flavor to any cheese.

  • More Omega-3

    Guernsey milk contains three times as much omega-3 as in other milks. Omega-3 benefits include improved heart health, improved rheumatoid arthritis, improved cognitive performance and prevention of certain neurological conditions. Several studies have also reported possible anti-cancer effects.

  • Fabulous taste

    People love the mouth feel of Guernsey milk. A 2017 sensory done at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found 100 percent of consumers preferred Guernsey milk to traditional store bought milk.

All natural

Guernseys don’t need specially formulated feed to achieve premium milk quality. Their milk is pure and wholesome…naturally.
