Laverstoke Park Farm Buffalo Milk Review

rating: 8/10, available from here for £3.98 2x750ml (minimum order £30, +p&p).

Just to refresh your memory Laverstoke Park Farm is a biodynamic organic farm producing top of the range fresh produce and meats.

Buffalo milk is a good source of Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Riboflavin, Vitamin A, C, B12 and Thiamin. It also contains Copper, Folate, Iron, Manganese, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Sodium, Vitamin B6 and Zinc in small amounts. It is higher in protein than cow's milk, and some people have drank it to treat eczema and psoriasis. We've not tried it yet, but when we do we will post a review in light speed!

From what we've read, buffalo's milk has met mixed reviews among people with lactose intolerance. (taken from here).
Ok, not quite light speed, but we got there in the end!
The taste of Buffalo milk is very creamy and resultantly we found it to be very filling. So we couldn't consume much at once. It did maintain our energy levels, but it aggravated my stomach. Em and L were fine, but it should be approached with care if your tummy isn't too happy with dairy. It didn't do much to L's skin, but she loved it anyway. She used the milk in kefir, banana milkshakes, and other wonderful sweets and they all came out beautifully.

It comes in a cardboard carton that is recyclable and my niece and nephew loved playing matador after drinking some buffalo milk. Yes, we know, Matadors and buffalos usually don't come up in the same sentence, but it was fun all the same! Our friends loved it too, though they didn't play matadors or imitate buffalos after drinking it!

All in all it was a hit. But as we've said above, it should be approached with care if your tummy isn't too happy with dairy!

We hope you've had a lovely day!
