Guernsey Milk |

 |
Guernsey milk is the only natural ‘golden’ milk due to the high proportion of beta-carotene it contains, which has been indicated as beneficial to health. More in interestingly, there has been increasing importance attached to a form of protein called ‘A2 beta casein’ with concern to the avoidance of allergies. The Guernsey breed is the purest producing breed of A2 beta casein’. Early indications show that 95% of Guernsey cows carry the ‘A2’ gene compared with about 30% from other breeds. The natural sugars in Guernsey milk contribute to its reputation as a ‘drinking milk’, but their presence also means that products made from it require less, or in some cases no, added sweetner. Guernsey milk is similar to Goats milk as it contains 95% of its beta-casein (a form of protein) in the A2 form which is beneficial to people. The benefits of Guernsey milk are that it is a safe and healthy drinking milk and it claims to be good for people susceptible to heart disease, Type I diabetes and autism. Research is still ongoing in New Zealand into these claims. We will be taking future steps to establish a fully A2 herd so that the benefits of this can be fully appreciated in our yoghurt.
