My first post for the new year takes us back to where it all begins - real milk. As it's also the first post from my new home town of Newcastle, I've chosen something local from the Hunter Valley.

Udder Farm Premium Jersey
Full Cream Milk

This old-fashioned milk is the latest addition to the range of milks, cream and cheese from Greg Haines, a dairy farmer from Luskintyre near Maitland. Greg and his family milk the cows twice each day and bottle their milk several times a week, to be sold in corner stores and markets in the local area.

Already the distinctive glass bottles are developing a cult-like following, with stories circulating of how customers are re-using them in creative ways - from bottling pasta sauce and salad dressings to rainwater and homebrew.

It's real milk with nothing added, and nothing taken away. And it tastes sensational - silky smooth, clean and sweet. I challenge you not to dip in a spoon and eat the thick plug of cream on top.
