Doorstep milk deliveries

We deliver to doorsteps in Stannington & Loxley milkman@ourcowmolly.co.uk

 

Our milk is now the only milk produced & bottled in Sheffield so if it’s not milk that’s come from our farm it definitely won’t be local milk, I know many milkmen claim the milk they are offering is local but there’s no other milk bottleing plants in Sheffield only ours.

 

We are more than happy to supply milkmen with Sheffield milk if they want it.

 

I love Molly milk, is it only Stannington and Loxley you do? We're in Oughtibridge and can get it from the farm shop or Morrison's but would love it delivered!

Contacted Hillsborough Dairy 0114 234 3994 for milk delivery every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and was very pleased to meet our local Milkman Chris.

 

Very friendly, great to have pasteurised milk once again (not homogenised) and very creamy. Invoice will be fortnightly and BAX payment or cash are both accepted. Excellent !!! (August 2018)

We get ours from McQeens.

They deliver in the middle of the night!

 

Apparently McQueens source their milk from First Milk, which is a dairy farmers cooperative. So their milk is coming from all over the place.

Hillborough Dairies, last time I checked, were owned by a company based in Hampshire, which itself was not a farm but sourced from various farmers.

Pasteurisation (heat treatment to extend shelf life) is performed on all milk that goes through a bottling plant, so you've been having pasteurised milk anyway, I'm afraid. Homogenisation (mechanical mixing to reduce the fat droplet size so that it suspends, rather than floating to the top) is an entirely different process that is performed in most large-scale consumer production facilities, but not always in smaller dairies. It's an additional step to skimming, as today's health-conscious consumer doesn't want to visually see cream on top of their milk. Ironically, I bet some people would chuck it away, thinking it had gone off!

We love seeing the cream on top in the bottle, and at Hillsborough Dairy it is very nice and thick. It's become a bonus for the person in our family that gets to open a new pint glass bottle, get out a small teaspoon and skim it off to enjoy the cream on the milk the way it was in the mid to late 20th century before the 'Americanised' homogenisation process that has changed our way of life.

Somehow this can mainly be enjoyed in the pint glass bottle more than the larger plastic containers. Using reusable glass affords us the feeling that we are contributing to the environment, even if it does cost a tad more than the larger sizes and is a very small way in reduction of plastic usage. :D:)

I hope it is coming from British farmers and not the Belgian or other European sources that 'seem' to supply the cheaper/budget German supermarkets? :gag::hihi:
