WARNING AVOID CRAVENDALE

Have had nothing but trouble from cows since buying it, they follow me everywhere, troll me on facebook. They want it back!

Don't worry, Cravendale is 100% real milk, it's just been filtered to remove more of the milk spoiling bacteria so that it lasts longer ... 21 days unopened & for 7 days after opening.
IMHO. Cravendale tastes closest to the milk we drink, straight out of the farm tank!

Arla, who make Cravendale, Big Milk, BoB, etc is a dairy cooperative, & so is owned by the dairy farmers ourselves.
Our milk price is made up from the sales of our milk & the products it's made into. It is not dependant on a milk processor deciding how much (or how little!) he can pay us for milk.

Special offers like this let us say 'Thank you' to our loyal customers <3 ... and hopefully encourage new customers. :sunglasses:

Thank you for supporting us - it's greatly appreciated. :smiley:

They filter out the bacteria hence the 'pure' term but by doing so the product becomes more sterile and its not as natural and it means your immune system isn't being tested which is both good and bad. Young children really should be allowed to develop their immune system with such bacteria I would of thought.

Great price and product though and saves waste by not having to throw out off milk.

Don't worry, the calves always get fed first, it's the surplus that gets sold.

Calves are born with no inbuilt imunity & must be fed milk from their mothers to build up their immunity. This 'first milk' is called colostrum & contains all the antibodies that a calf needs to get the best start in life. :sunglasses:
In any case, milk from new calved cows cannot go into the food chain until after 4 days.
Calves are weaned around 6-8 weeks old, when they're eating enough solid food to maintain their growth. :smiley:

Please don't believe all the horror stories that are spread about the dairy industry. :disappointed:
All farmers just want happy & healthy animals.
Poorly & unfit animals are just not economic to have!

still at 100p ??

excellent deal bought 2 packs

Because the cream at the top separates very easily and is yuk to drink, whilst the rest of the milk is mainly water a quick movement of the bottle quickly mixes any separation back together.

In reality I do freeze rarely. Interested to know why the whole should be not

I like all the peoples comments for justifying buying at this price, I find my semi-skimmed milk from Lidl tastes just as good on my cornflakes, Lidl of course, as any other milk, and yes I have tried Cravendale when it's the only milk left on the shelf because of the price? maybe. Not a lot of people seem to want to pay more than necessary for their milk, is that why the price of milk action seems to have died off?

Don't know how long you want milk to last but I get normal semi skimmed and it lasts a week when opened on purchase day, and my next purchase day is one week later so my milk never goes off either.

Just shows what a rip off this was before if they can sell at this price for now, Only freeze semi or skimmed, do not freeze whole.

​Did you know Aldi sells their own brand of the S/S which is 99p. It's made by the same people and tastes lovely. Sadly atm they do not sell full fat. Eorth a try.

This milk is just normal milk, 1st it has all the cream removed, then they put back the bare minimum depended on the type (ie semi, full, etc) then its pasteurised, then its homogenised, just like normal milk!
But then its also passed through a micro filter to remove 99% of the remaining bacteria, hence it has a longer shelf life! = More profit for manufacture = Happier Shop Keeper =Happier customer = Muppet!

If it it taste different its because, "you just paid way over the odds and expecting wonders", or "the cream content is slight different to what you use to!"

A naff price for Milk - Aldi £0.42p per litre

He needs some milk!

I had a quick look about Chrohn's disease on various sites out of curiosity and that seems to be a genetic condition which can be triggered or cause symptoms with certain bacteria but take your point but I did say both good and bad as it is swings and roundabouts. I think its a very difficult area but parents with poor immune systems have children with similar weaker immune systems who then follow a similar lifestyle where the immune system isn't developed properly and end up with a weaker immune system than their parents. As me make less natural food it seems our compatibility with the natural world reduces due to a weakened immune system and we become more dependent on processed and sterilised food. I saw this statement 'More than 17 million Europeans have a food allergy, and hospital admissions for severe reactions in children have risen seven-fold over the past decade, according to the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI).'

Which is on this site;

https://www.foodallergy.org/facts-and-stats

7x is a huge increase over 10 years. As adults our immune system has fully developed into pretty much the way its going to be and then weakens at the end of life apart from certain medical conditions for most people but for children their diet is more critical for their future adult health.

It swings both ways. I have Crohn's disease, the cause of which has been strongly linked to a bacteria that survives standard pasteurisation processes in milk :smirk:

​So I take it you're a Vegan then... :laughing:

​Awwww you're a good lad, I'm sure he'll be pleased... :laughing:

​Shame we can't have cash back on Cravendale... :laughing:

​I couldn't agree with you more... :laughing:

You're welcome hun... :laughing: ​

Heat, stocked up the old mans fridge with this and some Jersey milk for his coffee, keep him happy

Well maybe where you are - but in Bournemouth Asda (&lidl/Aldi) quietely stuck the price up to 95!
Its a deal if you like cravedale & have been paying £1.50 a bottle

It's not about tasting better (although it does) it's about lasting longer. And whilst removing "99.9% of bacteria" from your hands is with anti-bacterial handwash is just plain stupidity, removing even more of it from milk IS a good idea.

sorry, say that again...

Yeah, we now buy the Aldi filtered milk instead of Cravendale. Good price if you have an Asda is close-by. For us Aldi is two miles and Asda is five...

Must be fairly recent rise .. But still a lot cheaper than cravendale at full price . Guessing it's from Arla too , as the aldi shudda milkshakes are Fridjjj with different labels.

Just when I needed some milk. Thanks!

I buy this milk because normal milk has a horrid cheap plastic smell to it (from the bottle)

Ya daft racist!

Why?

It's gone up now to £1.09 in my local, still much nicer than other milk.

Or thanks to Shopitize, 70p for 4 litres

All milk is pasteurised anyways at around 70 Celsius, not just Aldi's

Hope Asda putting hand in pocket to support this one, if not slowly slowly the small then medium British dairy farmers quit leaving just the big big boys and then control the market and milk will be £1.00 a litre ...

I don't think missing out on a glass of milk will but research has shown children bought up on farms for example have far less risk of allergies. We've seen the widescale use of anti-biotics in food production and much food has chemicals to deter bugs and provide a long shelf life. The 12 year old macdonalds burger that revealed just how long processed food can last and not decompose compared to natural unprocessed foods. People just need to see low risk bacteria as a healthy option for developing a child's immunity. A child bought up on sterilised and processed food has higher risks of allergies and some illnesses. A totally factual statement based on the evidence.

Agree with the comments being made. We switched to Cravendale a couple of years back and never buy any other type of milk. Their skimmed milk tastes the best of any skimmed milk we have tried and we never have to throw any away as it last so much longer. Nice to read its made by a co-operative.

I always buy Cravendale simply because it lasts longer. There's nothing worse (in the milk world) than getting your milk out of the fridge to find it's "on the turn". Never happens to me with Cravendale.

It's not about tasting better (although it does) it's about lasting longer. And whilst removing "99.9% of bacteria" from your hands is with anti-bacterial handwash is just plain stupidity, removing even more of it from milk IS a good idea.

Got to love this "rollback" ballsheet.

1) It never WAS £1 for this size - so "rolling back" to what? When milk was this cheap for this much, Cravendale didn't even exist.
2) It's a temporary price so....look forward to the "rollforward" signage in a couple of weeks.

Bargain. Thanks

whats the deal with this? the regular milk 2.4litres is £0.89 more or less any store??
what's so special about this ''deal'' ?

Reassuring, thanx for the bio. :-)

Huh?.

Do Curry's sell Milk now? (or am I missing someting ..... ) hahahahahahaha. :-)

I buy the 3L Cravendale all the time now from Asda, lovely tasting and never needed to pour away sour!

Don't worry, Cravendale is 100% real milk, it's just been filtered to remove more of the milk spoiling bacteria so that it lasts longer ... 21 days unopened & for 7 days after opening.

If Something taste better than 100% original milk then how that can be real milk???

heat added

​Thats called "big milk" never seen it in asda before.

Don't get the heat on this.. Filtered milk is 99p in aldi and £1.25 in Tesco .

Stop stealing baby cows food!

Bought two today with weekly shop before I saw this, so can confirm brilliant price.

Sometimes the labels haven't been changed but it's definitely £1 everywhere. Always scan it if in doubt to check... :laughing:

https://groceries.asda.com/search/Cravendale%20milk

Best way to have milk... :laughing:

No but that's on offer for £1.50 @ Sainsbury’s at the moment... :laughing:

It's on roll back everywhere, maybe they haven't changed the label... :laughing:

https://groceries.asda.com/search/Cravendale%20milk

I find difficult to believe that this is on rollback, I must say that there was not even a proper ticket in the shelf but I remember last time it was £1.50 for one. Surely a misprice unless the OP or someone can confirm if the price is at £1 on the shelf

Good price so voted Hot as its a good offer, but for me it's far too filtered and upmost unnatural. I like mine straight from the cow and chilled, obviously risky but so rich and creamy, you can't beat it

Does this include Arla 'Big Milk' ?

Can't believe I'm the first to say but cravendale is disgusting. Good deal if you like it though.

All milk is pasteurised though which gets rid of most of the bad stuff anyway, which is arguably somewhat unnatural regardless. It won't test or be easy on your immune system because you're constantly exposed to bacteria everywhere, there's not much that is sterile, and your stomach acid will do most of the work.

Missing out on a glass of unfiltered milk won't compromise or hinder your child's immunity so I wouldn't worry. There'll be far more bacteria to help develop their immunity on their hands. :smile:

Filtered milk is filtered through ceramic plates to eliminate more bacteria , etc . But tesco pure £1.25 is filtered and aldi filtered is 99p ..not sure if asda do it of just sell cravendale which is overpriced when not on offer.

They filter out the bacteria hence the 'pure' term but by doing so the product becomes more sterile and its not as natural and it means your immune system isn't being tested which is both good and bad. Young children really should be allowed to develop their immune system with such bacteria I would of thought.

Great price and product though and saves waste by not having to throw out off milk.

Especially in sub-zero temperatures.

Just normal milk filtered
I do that at home for nothing!

No roll back at my store grrrr £1.50!

I buy normal milk too as yes its cheaper , on the rare occasion I buy cravendale (like when this offer is on) there is a noticeable difference in taste and imo it is better.
Also , if you have a 4 pint bottle open for more than 3 days then the smell deteriorates quite quickly with normal milk. You just don't get that with Cravendale milk , it can be open 5 days and still smells and tastes perfect ..... there is a difference :wink:

Yes I was thoroughly disappointed when I travelled to my nearest Currys and couldn't find a vindaloo.

not trying to be rude, genuinely trying to understand why to buy cravendale milk over, say, asda milk which is much cheaper. It is all milk

is it just to show support for farmers?

There's a children's version of this cravendale milk anybody know if that's on the offer too?

Curry's don't sell milk! :laughing:

best to see currys, they will price match and will also give 10% cashback on the reminder

Ha funny... :laughing:

Do you think tesco will price match this?

I was thinking to buy a freezer warehouse

got 3 this morning only because I was with the scooter, counting to go back with the lorry.
Anyway, it can easily be frozen

Aldi do filtered milk for 99p

wa hay. thanks

Fantastic deal

wow 50p a litre

good find, thanks.

​I agree it's a great buy for a great tasting milk... :laughing:

Always buy this milk usually £3 for 2 offer. :smile: brilliant price and great taste. Nice one
