Real Norfolk Milk from Nortons' Dairy

Due to consumer demand, in December 2007 we started bottling real (unpasteurised) milk for sale direct from our farm shop. We don't like calling it "raw" milk, because that implies its not ready to drink yet. This is milk in its natural state, before any heat treatment has been applied to it. And it's delicious!

At certain times, we will not have any milk in our chill tank, as it will have been collected by the bulk tanker. Please call in advance to make sure that there will be milk available.

Is real milk better for you? 

We think that the pasteurisation process certainly makes our milk taste different, but real milk is also thought to be better for you in other ways. There's lots of links to information about these on this website:
