Spotlight: Delamere Dairy

Delemare Dairy are a Cheshire based speciality dairy producing a wide range of delicious goats’ milk products.

Liz and Roger Sutton founded Delamere Dairy with their first purchase of just three goats in Cheshire’s beautiful Delamere Forest. They Began by selling the fresh goats’ milk and soft cheese they made in their kitchen to local health food stores.

Today, they supply an award-winning range of fresh and long-life cows’ milks, goats’ milks, butter, cheeses and yogurts which are sold throughout the UK and beyond.

It’s estimated that 1 out of every 5 people in the UK has a dairy intolerance or allergy. Despite goats’ milk coming from a dairy animal, it is often referred to as a ‘dairy alternative’, and so you may find it alongside soya, rice and oat milk on the supermarket shelves.

Nutritionally, goats’ milk has all the goodness of cows’ milk, for example the calcium protein and fat levels are the same. However, goats’ milk is a much more digestible milk due to its physical make-up and is also slightly lower in cholesterol.

As well as being an all round healthy milk, goats’ milk is known to help alleviate conditions such as asthma, eczema and digestive disorders. Unlike cows’ milk, it’s non-mucous forming and has even been known to cure snoring!
