Organic A2 100% Grassfed Chocolate Milk

Farm: Crystal Valley Creamery (Dundee, NY)

Ingredients: Organic 100% Grassfed A2 Whole Milk*, cane sugar*, natural cocoa*, tapicoa starch*, sea salt, gellum gum.        * = organic

Gently Pasteurized but never homogenized: milk is heated slowly at lower temperatures to kill harmful bacteria while keeping the natural cream layer, flavor, and original fat structure intact

A2 beta-casein milk is a type of cow's milk that contains only the A2 form of the beta-casein protein, leaving out the A1 protein found in most regular milk

Crystal Valley Creamery Jersey Cows aren't confined to stall and enjoy fresh green pasture grass during the summer; in the winter they feed them stored hay. They are not fed grain or any by-products. Their cows are also tested to produce milk containing the original A2 protein and no other mutated A1 Protein.

Crystal Valley Creamery bottles milk daily, right on the farm! This means the cream will naturally rise to the top. Shake and enjoy, or pour the cream off for coffee and more!

INGREDIENT INSIGHT:

Gellan gum is a food additive made through the fermentation of sugar by a naturally occurring bacteria. It is produced in large fermentation tanks, then extracted, purified, dried, and ground into a powder used to thicken and stabilize foods.

Tapioca starch is a natural carbohydrate extracted from the root of the cassava plant, a tropical root vegetable. The roots are washed, peeled, grated, and processed to separate the starch, which is then washed, dried, and ground into a fine powder used as a thickener and binder in foods.
