Milk

Milk is one our most complete foods, providing us with proteins, vitamins and minerals - especially calcium. Not only can it be used as a refreshing drink, but it is also an essential ingredient for many recipes. It can also be used to make other dairy products, such as yoghurt, cheese and butter.

In this section, we take a look at not only the wide range of cow's milk products, but also at milk from other animals and non-dairy varieties, such as soya milk and coffee whiteners.
