Trewithen Dairy’s award-winning Cornish Barista Milk will now be available direct to consumers, following its success within the speciality coffee industry and its growing cult status in the UK’s independent city coffee shops. The new offering is now available in Ocado with a RRP of £2.00.
Created in partnership with skilled baristas and industry specialists, the barista milk has been carefully crafted to produce the perfect froth for coffee at home with a rich, creamy and fresh taste. Naturally higher in protein and a great source of nutrients, Trewithen Dairy’s Cornish Barista Milk is the first non-UHT barista milk for the retail market. Produced from family farms in the heart of Cornwall, it contains 3.5% protein which is perfectly balanced with a 4% butterfat content to create a smooth, full bodied flavour, long lasting microfoam and consistent performance for latte art. Its astounding taste recently received a Great Taste Award with judges singling out its “rich, creamy milk with a suggestion of sweetness”.
Renowned for its exceptional dairy products with quality and sustainability at its core, Trewithen Dairy works with farmers who are close to home ensuring all their milk comes from a blend of Brown Swiss, Friesian, Holsteins and Jersey cows who graze on lush Cornish grass on farms with standards that are higher than industry requirements.
Francis Clarke, director of Trewithen Dairy, says: ”We created, developed and launched this product with baristas for baristas, in partnership with Stores Supply who are experts in the specialty coffee space and whose insights and support have been invaluable.
Our barista milk has been hugely popular in cafés across the UK for the last few years and it’s now so exciting to be able to offer everyone across the country the chance to try making their own coffees with it for the first time”.
According to Mintel, a leading market intelligence agency, consumers are entering a ‘fourth wave’ of premium home-crafted coffee so Trewithen’s Cornish Barista Milk is perfectly timed with this increase in popularity of making more specialty coffees at home.
During product research and development of the new milk, Trewithen approached baristas who told the award-winning Cornish dairy that they wanted a milk with good levels of protein and butterfat to achieve the creamy, smooth ‘mouth feel’ customers want. Feedback from baristas who tried the milk at the London Coffee Festival reported that the new product “steams and froths very nicely, better than any others” and was “very sweet, lasts longer and works fantastically well with dark or light coffee’.
Trewithen Dairy’s careful homogenisation and pasteurisation process and foam testing of every batch before distribution ensures their Cornish Barista Milk foams perfectly every time at home with domestic milk frothers. With an unforgettable smooth finish, creamy, rich taste and fresh flavour, thanks to it being a non-UHT milk, Trewithen Dairy’s Cornish Barista Milk is the perfect balance to complement coffee, add to shakes, cereal or even enjoy straight from the bottle.
