Our Eco Dairy Reduced Fat Milk has 2% milkfat – 50% less than our Whole Milk. Our cool, coastal climate provides green grass 365 days a year – a constant source of nourishment for our unique blend of crossbreed cows, and results in milk with higher Omega 3s and CLAs (conjugated linoleic acids).
All our Alexandre Eco Dairy milks are ultra-pasteurized to give them an extended shelf life for staying fresh longer in your fridge!
INGREDIENTS: Organic Milk, Organic Non-Fat Milk, Vit D3, Vit A Palmitate
In this package, our 2% is is homogenized and ultra high temp pasteurized.Our 2% bottled milk is vat pasteurized and non-homogenized. Both reduced fat milks are 100% A2/A2, certified regenerative, humane, and organic, and come from the same pasture-based cows that enjoy life on our northern California grass pastures.
Vitamin A fortification in reduced fat milk is required by the FDA because whole milk contains some vitamin A palmitate: however, vitamin A levels in 2% milk are much lower because the vitamin A palmitate is fat soluble and is removed with the fat when you reduce it. Therefore, the FDA requires that the Vit A be replaced.
The non-fat milk in our 2% Reduced Fat A2/A2 Organic Milk is produced by using a centrifugal separator to separate cream and skim milk from whole milk.
This milk comes from cows that consume 80% of their diet from grass forage and 20% from a.certified organic grain blend that includes corn and barley (no soy).
