Whether you are in front of a product in the market or about to add it into the shopping cart in an online store, maybe you feel the need to know more about it. In the end, you are choosing a product for yourself and your family. That is why we want to explain what organic milk means.


What is organic milk?

Organic milk is a product that must comply with certain rules to be classified as such. For example, the grass, on which the herd grazes, must not be treated with chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. Also, any additional food must be certified organic and does not contain additives or genetically modified seeds. For milk to be organic, the herd must achieve three things:


  1. Not be treated with antibiotics.

  2. Not to be given any hormones for growth or reproduction.

  3. Must receive at least 30% of their diet from pasture.

Those conditions make a whole different world when raising a herd and in the production of organic milk. Some kinds of milk meet the basic requirements and are called organic milk others go beyond and give much more pasture time, so the herd receives more nutrient-rich grass that improves the quality of the milk. Learning the origin of the dairy products that we are eating is vital if we want to have a healthy diet.
