What is Unhomogenised Milk?

A field of dairy cows

Leave a bottle of our milk on the counter for a morning and something happens. A pale, buttery layer drifts to the top, thicker than the rest, almost the colour of straw. This is the cream line, the clearest sign you’re holding unhomogenised milk.

Rebecca’s dad was the first person to say it out loud. A cattle farmer in
Cheshire, he had spent a lifetime around livestock and could tell good work
from bad on instinct. British retail milk, he reckoned, had drifted from what a
good dairy cow can produce. There was room for someone to do it properly.
