Milk!

How milk is processed into different products?

Do you Know how important dairy products are to New Zealand? Especially milk! 

Milk is an Emulsion. Can fat and water mix? An Emulsion comes from a lattern word for “Milk”. Milk is made up of Fat, Protein, Lactose, Water, Vitamins and Minerals (Such as Calcium). Milk can only come from a mammal such as a Cow, Goat, Sheep and many more.

The Milk has to be collected from the vat where it is stored after milking. Once the tanker has collected the milk it is delivered to the factory where it is stored in a cooler. Then it is processed into different products like Cream, Cheese and Butter.

In 2011 dairy farms produced 730 million tonnes of milk from 260 million cows. There are 10,500 dairy farms in New Zealand.

Milk is one of the best sellers in New Zealand. If there was no farms there would be no Milk!
