British wine taster extraordinaire Oz Clarke has admitted that his desert island drink wouldn’t be some grand red wine, an exalted champagne or a venerable vintage port. Instead he would choose the drink of his childhood, pure British organic milk! You too can be a milk connoisseur by viewing a video!
Oz is an advocate of the 4 ‘s: see, smell, savour and swallow. Using skills that would make any sommelier proud, he shows us how to use every sense to swirl, sniff and roll the flavour over your tongue. Think dollops of cream on English scones and Wimbledon strawberries.
Organic milk has all the nutritional goodness of non-organic milk, but the fact that the cows are fed on a more natural diet means that there are additional benefits. Not only does the milk contain higher vitamin levels, but traditional production methods mean that you’re helping farming in the UK and supporting local industries. Information from OMSCo, the organic milk cooperative, also shows that non-organic milk comes from farms that are allowed to use GM cattle feed, routine antibiotic treatments and synthetic pesticides. These are not permitted on organic farms, which makes it an ethical choice too.”
