I have definitely destroyed the image against milk and have definitely drunk "special milk"

Unlike milk such as those sold at convenience stores and supermarkets, milk that is approved for sale as "close to milk (raw milk) as long as it keeps its taste from cattle"Special milk"is. Special milk is said to be produced only in five places throughout Japan, but Kyoto has produced and sold this "Clover ranchSo I actually went to buy to see how much taste is different from ordinary milk.

◆ What is special milk?
"Special milk" is a type of "name by type" written on the back of the package of milk and dairy products. To put it briefly, it is something like milk up a notch from the milk that is most commonly drunk, written as "milk" in the category name.


Glyco Dairy FAQ"Milk" is heat sterilized milk (raw milk) of a cow as it is being squeezed, "processed milk" is a composition prepared by using ingredients such as cream which is milk, skimmed milk · butter, "Milk drink" seems to be classified as one classified mainly by dairy products, except for the original ingredients of milk.


On the other hand, special milk is "milk that is permitted to be manufactured by setting up a special facility that can not be seen in a particularly excellent breeding environment and other ranches and milk processing facilities". There are only five facilities in the whole country that actually permit the manufacture of special milk from the country, and one of them is Kyoto's Clover ranch. In this clover farm, since "ranch" and "facility to sterilize milk or pack it in a package" are in the same place, raw milk does not touch the outside air, and it is pasteurized within 1 hour after milking It seems to be able to do.


◆ To the clover ranch
That's why I actually go to the Clover ranch to buy special milk.

The address of the clover ranch is "Kamocho Kanonji Imaji Tsuji 38 Kisugawa shi Kyoto Fukui", located at the prefectural border of Kyoto and Nara.


The nearest station isJR Kamo Station. You can go to the ranch if you walk 30 to 40 minutes from here ...


Nara Kotsu BusIf you take "JR Nara station west exit", you can move to the immediate vicinity of the Clover ranch in about 10 minutes.


The nearest bus stop of Clover ranch is "Joruriji entrance".


When I get off the bus, there is such a narrow road like this on the lane opposite ... ...


It will be OK if you climb up the slope along the street. Since the smell of livestock drifts only a little after walking on this road, you can also realize that the ranch is approaching.


I found blue karaoke when I climbed a slope.


There is a sign of the clover ranch, across the road and the karaoke across the street. It seems that it seems to be something trap though it does not look like a ranch from anywhere, but goes inside from here ...


When walking a little on the premises, a signboard of "milk direct selling place" also appears.


Continue further according to the signboard. I feel pretty different from the "ranch" I was imagining somehow, but do not worry if I go on and on ... ...


With this kind of building ......


I found a barn.


In front of the building, the car written as "special milk" has stopped, I finally realize that I could arrive at Clover pasture.


Looking at the entrance to the building, there is a signboard for "direct sales place", so it seems that special milk can be bought here.


Push the buzzer and wait for a while, people will come from the barn. Before buying special milk, "Since you can also look at the barn place?", I decided to let milk stand up for the moment and let me observe the barn.


That's why I will look at the cows squeezing special milk while walking on the concrete road outside the barn.


His cows spending relaxedly.


I will observe the cows in front of my eyes.


A group of cows lying on the floor, all of a suddenly saying "I am frustrated at standing ... ...."


This cow looks like the camera is concerned.


It seems that cows are breeding about 50 cattle in the barn, and all that is reflected in the pictures is an adult cow that gives out raw milk.


Until a short while ago it actually seemed OK even if it entered the barn, but after the epidemic of foot and mouth disease in 2010 it is said that they are only looking at cows from the outside of the barn.


Grass that cows indeed have ordered from the United States that they are eating ladies. Why import grass from the United States seems to be because Japanese pasture is damp and not suitable for cattle's body.


There were also small calves that were born for about a month.


Apart from the cows that give out milk, young cows are also raised.


And a heavy machine dedicated to Clover Ranch also appeared.


It occasionally was a quiet space other than the cry "Moe" crying over, it was a comfortable space where a relaxed time passed.


That's why if we fully enjoy the barn, we will finally go to a direct sales office.


People who visited Clover pasture for the first time are said to be able to sample special milk. As soon as I drink it, I am rich and rich, but I am surprised by the extremely distinctive mouth feel like refreshing and drinking goobubi.Concentrate milkAs I imagined a gut and a rich milk taste, I was very surprised by the taste of a slightly sweet and gentle special milk. A white collar is sticking to the surface of the cup, but this seems to be a cream that is not treated uniformly.


In the direct sales department are selling 900 ml bottle (810 yen including tax) and 500 ml bottle (520 yen including tax) of special milk chilled to the kinquin, in addition to that 300 g (about 350 yen including tax) of yoghurt made from special milk Only three kinds.


When you purchase milk or yogurt, you put milk and yoghurt in a plastic bag together with ice, but as long as cold weather in winter it is better to purchase milk that brings cold insulation back in hot seasons · I am going to bring my yoghurt home with freshness.


◆ I tried comparing drinking
That's why "Kyoto's special milk" and "Kyoto's yogurt" have been purchased.


"Special milk in Kyoto" is strictly written as "special milk" in type name, non fat milk solids is 8.5% or more, milk fat content is 3.4% or more, raw materials as well as raw milk are preserved with 100% There are no drugs or additives at all. The sterilization method is "sterilization at 63 degrees for 30 minutes", thanks to this low-temperature sterilization treatment, it has become easy-to-drink milk without "milk peculiar odor".


Also, "special milk in Kyoto" does not crush the fat globules contained in raw milk and uniformly treat itNonhomogenize(Nonhomo) It is also milk. Nonhomo milk does not crack the original fat globule of raw milk, so it gets slowly digested and absorbed by the action of gastric juice and digestive enzymes in the body. Because it is not necessary to expose lactose often found in fat gloves, when you drink milk it will bring down your stomachLactose intoleranceThere are many cases that people do not break their stomach even if they drink.

If nonhomo milk is kept for a while without opening the stopper, cream collects at the top. Also shake well and drink it well, remove the cream part and drink it as low-fat milk, you can also enjoy cream in coffee so you can also enjoy various ways to enjoy nonhomo milk.


In addition, since preservatives etc are not used at all, the expiration date was 4 days from the date of purchase.


So I decided to compare 'Special Milk in Kyoto (Special Milk)' with 'Delicious Milk (Milk)' and 'Ranch Earth (Milk Drink)'.


In terms of type name, Meiji's "Meiji delicious milk" is milk. The sterilization method seems to be done for 2 seconds at a high temperature of 130 degrees.


Morinaga Milk 's "Ranch Earth" is a milk drink.


I compared the color of liquid. It is hard to understand a little in the photograph, but milk drinks are yellow in color and the other two are white. If you look at three scents before drinking comparison, you will notice that the so-called "special milk odor" does not come from special milk. This unique odor of milk seems to be generated when protein is burned when sterilizing raw milk at high temperature, so if there is fresh special milk that is treated with pasteurization, there is not this "milk unique odor".

When comparing drinking actually, special milk is rich, it has a rich feeling slightly gentle sweetness, but impression such as a mysterious drink that you can drink with Sararito. Because there is not that unique smell of milk that is always drinking, it is a level that I doubt "This is really milk?" However, there is a very rich creamy feel like fresh cream, the dairy feeling is very strong. When I drank regular milk or milk drink after drinking this, I felt the taste was very thin and I realized that it is a kind of thing as "real milk is like this ...".


Next I will look at 'Kyoto no yogurt' made from special milk at Clover ranch.


Contents amount is 300 g.


It is a very simple yoghurt that is written only as "milk" in the raw material name.


This expiration date is one week longer than milk.


"Yogurt in Kyoto" is not using any additives or coagulation stabilizer at all, yoghurt made with special milk and lactic acid bacteria.


Because it's so hard, "Yogurt in Kyoto" is "Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt LB 81 PlainI will compare it with.


When you put out each yoghurt in a vessel, the color clearly differs. "Yogurt in Kyoto" means that the liquid from the yogurt is slightly green,WheyThe nutritious rich moisture. The taste is less acidic than Bulgaria yoghurt, and it is elegant with Sarariti although there is richness, impression such as yogurt that made use of the goodness of material simple.


◆ Summary
Actually drinking special milk felt that the special milk is a completely different drink than the milk we've been drinking so far. Especially because the cream feeling is strong, it seems to be preferred for people who like cream etc., excellent compatibility with fruits and others. Once drunk milk or milk drink after drinking special milk, the difference in taste is "a piece of milk that I have ever drunk ... ..." and the image I had for milk It was broken into a mess.

There seems to be likes and dislikes in the unique fragrance that goes through the nose, but if it is not good, it will tastily drink if you mix fruits and honey. It is unlikely that drinking "special milk" once and then trying to destroy the image for milk in myself is because it is milk that everyone once drank.
