Perhaps clabbered raw milk is allowed in Scotland whereas raw milk is not. Maybe worth finding out, that could be a loophole allowing consumption of milk which is not pasteurised?
I doubt it Baz...the amount of people these days who are lactose intolerant and have other dietary issues, along with the general health & safety associated with such things these days, makes it sound like a veritable minefield. However, I am researching this so I will update if I find any information. However, there is a way of making your own....I just need to make friends with a farmer

They are, and they're clever old things too.
This one was a pretty gal, but a devil to milk when she grew up.

I never drank cows milk for well over 20 years.

Re: Return of milk bottles !!

I went back to having my milk delivered in bottles just before Covid, in a bid to lessen my plastic use. It takes very little time to wash them.

No regrets here.

The price you quote is pricey, so l think your local producers are
cashing in on the exclusivity factor, which should hopefully
reduce once the system is fully fully operational and the bottles
cost is recovered??
Do you use the system BTW ?

Donkeyman! 👍👍
No, we use the supermarket for our milk supply. Local milkmen have always been pricey - even around Worcester it's £0.81/pint.

Ouch that's a bit much! Milk is £1 a 4 pint jug in our supermarkets. Although I do wonder how they keep it so cheap. Its like eggs....I wouldn't buy cheap eggs because they are more likely to be battery hens who have never seen the sunshine, so I do wonder how they look after the cows.

Considering that dairy farmers only get about 20p/lt (~11.4p/pt) for their milk, someone, somewhere in the supply chain is making a bomb. I suspect it's the processors like Dairy Crest and the like.
