Tesco Finest Channel Island Milk

 
Description: Milk

Newest Review: ... 95p for a 1 litre bottle as opposed to for example £1.50 for 4l (2x 2l) bottles of Tesco Pure (own-brand Cravendale ... more

 ... equivalent) filtered milk which I normally buy. The biggest advantage is the taste. I find that gold top milk is too creamy to put in in my tea or coffee but great on cereals, and for pudding making purposes. What about the health though? One of the dooyoo reviews is titled "die happy". Is Channel Island Milk as bad for you as it sometimes is declared? Gold top milk has more fat than a standard full milk - 5.2g per 100ml instead of 3.6g (semi-skimmed has 1.6g, and I won't even mention skimmed, because it's such...more

Premium Review Tesco Finest Channel Island Milk: Milk as Milk Should Be (481 words)

I have gone back to buying this milk recently, not as the main milk, as it's too expensive for that, but as a nicer extra. It's a full fat milk and it comes from Guersney and Jersey cows, what is sometimes referred to in ck books as gold-top milk. It's either non-homogenised or less homogenised which allows the cream to come up to the top. It's creamy rather than completely white in colour and it comes in 1l transparent bottles with a gold coloured screw top. This is milk as milk should be: it looks very enticing (so much that I checked the bottle for a hint of colourant added but have not found any), it smells of milky, slightly ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Go On Treat Yourself! (790 words)

When we were children one of our daily jobs was to go and collect the milk. It didn't mean a visit to the local shop it meant a long haul up the hill to the farm, at the dairy they had just finished milking the herd and we were handed a metal billy can full to the brim with warm, fresh and creamy milk. The milk had a high cream content and when it was left to settle a layer of thick cream would build up on the top. If you had a pudding after your meal then the cream was saved to top the pudding. Of course this would be frowned on nowadays! Although when I was listening to Radio 2 I heard something mentioned about the Duchess of Devonshire, the Duchess has ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Tesco Finest Channel Island Milk: Die Happy (244 words)

Okay, let's get the health part out of the way first. This stuff is NOT good for you. In fact, your arteries are probably clanging shut just from reading this review. This isn't just full-fat milk - it's milk so filled with cream it looks YELLOW. It has 161 calories per serving, 6.8g of saturates per serving (34% of your daily allowance) and 10.4g of fat per serving. It isn't good for you, and at 95 pence per litre, it's not cheap either. That said, it tastes divine... I am a lover of whole milk, let me admit that from the start, and I will add cream to just about anything I can get away with. This milk is gorgeous drunk, and can also improve so ...  Read the complete review

Tastes great, low in calories, CHEAP Some may find it too sweet and watered down

Made from fresh fruit, no artificial colours or preservatives. Should be good for you... Not so big on taste, a little on the sour side.
