Chocolate Milk - Multi Pack

Farm: Pittsford Farms Dairy (Pittsford, NY)


INGREDIENTS:

Ingredients: Whole Milk, Sugar, Cocoa (processed with alkali), pure vanilla, salt

ABOUT THE FARM:

Pittsford Farms Dairy continues to use the old fashion method of vat pasteurization.  During vat pasteurization, milk is heated to 145° for thirty minutes in small batches.  Vat pasteurization takes longer but preserves the natural sweetness of the milk and cream.

99% of the milk processed in the U.S. today is pasteurized at a high temperature for a short time.  During this process milk is heated to 161° for fifteen seconds.  The extra heat damages the proteins in the milk and alters its flavor. 

Pittsford Farms Dairy is committed to producing a full line of “low and slow” dairy products with the same quality, health benefits and flavor that our customers have been enjoying for more than a century.  

INGREDIENT INSIGHT:

Alkali means cocoa powder that has been treated with an alkaline mineral salt, most commonly potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate. This process, known as alkalization, reduces the cocoa’s natural acidity and gives it a darker color and smoother, less bitter flavor.
