Their original release was pure jersey milk, but now they have one with a blue label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What was interesting is that it was obviously different, but how so? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I read all of the label but I couldn&#8217;t seem to find any additional information about it, and it became a game of spot the difference. Finally, I noticed right at the bottom of the front label that is doesn&#8217;t say jersey &#8211; it just says milk. Aha! So this is their &#8220;normal&#8221; cow range. But here&#8217;s the plot twist: Made By Cow&#8217;s own label doesn&#8217;t specify the type of cow, but interestingly, the shop&#8217;s price label said &#8220;FRIESN&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This reminds me of a conversation I had with friends not too long ago where some of them were saying how not all milks upset their stomach, but they weren&#8217;t sure why. Again, I realised how little we know about the food we consume. A2 milk has been a thing for a long time but do people actually know what it means? It&#8217;s just a different cow. Why don&#8217;t we sell milk by cow type? Yes it&#8217;s about maximising yield so you get mostly holstein milk with a small range of jersey, but there&#8217;s nothing else. Let&#8217;s generalise that even further &#8211; why are supermarkets still so boring? I want my french breakfast radishes, pine mushrooms, and lilly pillies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway&#8230; I like Baristart Coffee because they serve milk by cow breed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today at the shops, I noticed that Made By Cow has a second range out now.
