Real milk from real cows
Febr. 21, 2015
It is a fact that someone had in Samal on the idea of
producing fresh milk from real cows around 8 years ago. And in the meantime we
heard over and over again that a foreigner who was driving his motorcycle in
Samal all around to the local foreigners to bring fresh milk. Just as a liter
or so.
From these beginnings, an operation has become with an number
of cows which give all together at least 65 liters of fresh milk daily. The
milk will be pasteurized and offered for
sale - at present only in the region of the island of Samal. Concerning to the amount of milk you have to
remember that there are not the high-performance cows from the Allgäu/Germany,
but cows that are related to the Zebu cattle and carry this little "camel
hump" on the back and in milk production they are still "a little bit
slow"...
There will be soon fresh milk in Davao, that is a real
asset. At the moment in the malls there are
enough milk cartons - but that's milk, which is prepared from dry milk powder –
on the package there you will find the
names of so called producer countries
like Australia, New Zealand or even Germany.
The company would
like to expand the production and to make goats milk too. And that would be
worth because the prices of yogurt and
cheese are quite high. A 500 g package of "NESTLE CREAM YOGURT" (the
only yogurt that exists) costs currently 125 pesos = 2.50 euros and the prices for
cheese are even better. In "SWISS DELI" cost 1 kg of Gouda 1,700
pesos = ca.34 € and in the "S & R Mall" after all, it still at 1550
pesos = ca.30 €. These are great prices - right?
