We asked Brooke, a passionate food enthusiast known as @cookin_brooke on Instagram, to discuss her journey in discovering high-quality dairy and why she chooses Kalona SuperNatural.
Q: Tell us about your search for high-quality dairy products in Central Oregon.
A: Raw milk has always been my go-to option, but it’s not super easy to get here in Central Oregon. Kalona SuperNatural milk is an amazing option that I am able to get locally just five minutes down the road from me. It’s become my favorite alternative when I can’t access raw milk.
Q: What specifically draws you to Kalona SuperNatural’s milk?
A: It checks all the boxes for what I look for in dairy products. It’s grass-fed, regenerative, organic, and low-temperature pasteurized. Plus, it’s non-homogenized, which means you get that beautiful cream top. The low-temp pasteurization is particularly important to me because it helps retain more of the nutrients from the grass-fed milk.
Q: How do you typically enjoy the milk?
A: My favorite way use the milk is in a matcha latte with a little bit of raw honey, froth some of this milk up, and it’s incredible! Also simply enjoying a glass of milk at night with a little bit of chocolate is so good.
Q: You mentioned you’re originally from Wisconsin. Do you ever pick up the dairy when you are back home?
A: Yes, I love how accessible it is to get Kalona milk near me. To be able to find this in a small town in Wisconsin is incredible, and I am able to pick it up for my family so that we can enjoy a high-quality dairy we all love!
Q: Beyond milk, what other Kalona SuperNatural products have you tried?
A: The kefir is actually in a close tie with the milk for my favorite product! They also make this delicious cottage cheese, yogurt, and buttermilk. Really, any dairy product you name it, they have it! If I see any of their dairy products in the grocery store, I’m picking it up, no questions asked.
