Who They Are:
Noris Dairy supplies quality, organic, farm fresh milk and milk products from their family of 300 Holstein cows that are left to graze on pasture year round.
With organic, sustainable farming practices, humane treatment of their cows, and a desire to introduce into the market a product that they can truly be proud of, it is no wonder Noris Dairy is one of the few dairy farms remaining in the Pacific Northwest that bottles, pasteurizes, and produces all of their farm fresh, organic, milk and milk products in one place.
Best of all, everything is always guaranteed fresh. Noris, like dairies of old, does not process or homogenize their milk which can release harmful fatty acids into our digestive systems. Rather they pasteurize their milk to kill harmful bacteria and bottle it in glass containers where the natural separation of the milk occurs. Notably, you will notice the cream rise to the top. Give it a shake, drink, and you will instantly taste the difference, guaranteed farm fresh with pasteurization and bottling occurring at the farm less than two days before you receive it.
Helpful Tips:
- Milk
Optimal storing temperature for milk is 34 degrees. Milk should always be stored on the top shelf and never in the door. This allows the milk to stay as cold as possible. Remember to shake your milk well before each use. You will notice right away that the cream rises to the top of our milk. Remember, because Noris Dairy milk is not processed and does not contain any preservatives or additives, it will enjoy a shelf life of 7 – 10 days.
- Yogurt
Our yogurt is made with Noris fresh milk. You will notice right away that it has a very different consistency than commercial store bought products. Noris yogurt uses only fresh live cultures and no preservatives so your product is fresh and healthy.
- Cheese
Traditional store bought cheese is filled with preservatives and additives. These preservatives kill the live cultures of the cheese. This allows for a very long shelf life, however, it takes away the essential nutrients of the cheese and the flavor. Noris Dairy cheese is made with our own fresh raw milk.
- Butter
If you are not planning on using your butter right away, we recommend that you cube it into serving sizes and then freeze what you are not going to use. This will allow you to have butter for a longer period of time and retain the freshness and flavor.
