Benefits of Guernsey Milk
Benefits of Guernsey Milk compared to Holstein,
Guernsey milk has:
12% more protein
33% more vitamin D
25% more vitamin A
15% more calcium
300% more Omega 3
Note: Guernseys are the highest known producers of the A2 type of beta-casein protein.
The Golden Guernsey colour is in fact caused by high levels of beta-Carotene, and the effect is even stronger when the cows are grazing on fresh grass in the summer.
We are located in the Thames riverside town of Marlow, Buckinghamshire.
