      I'd say it's their diet more than anything else. If cows are stressed they won't let down their milk so it wouldn't make good business sense to make cows stressed. But I do understand that many large farms don't treat them in an ideal way.

    I can attest to the theory that happier cows make better milk:
    In my home village, we've got a huge farm of ¬ 1500 Simmental cows, and not only they graze just like the cows and Cruze Farm, we've also added massage station for cows (its like one of those big car wash spinners) that cows can use to their leisure, and the farm lab noticed an increase in quality of milk since it's been introduced.

      It's legit local. Cruze Farms has been a high point of Knoxville's downtown farmer's market for a couple of decades. Started out with a food truck IIRC, then a short-term pop-up brick-and-mortar, then a permanent store.
      My understanding is that Cruze Farms was intentionally established to be an artisanal alternate to another popular local dairy business (Mayfield).
      Knoxville started an intertwined food/entertainment/urban renaissance beginning around 2000 (lots of factors & a few really amusing incidents). It's managed to keep going for over 20 years & has nurtured quite a lot of great local eateries.

      I'm not a scientist, but I think the concerns of unpasteurized milk aren't much to worry about if you're talking about fresh milk from a local cow. The risks start when you work at an industrial scale: take the possibility of contamination from every single cow in every single herd and mix that into the giant batch, and give any pathogens opportunity to multiply in shipment, processing and storage, and then you're talking a much higher chance of large numbers of people getting sick. Also, your immune system is trained on and hopefully prepped for the pathogens in your local mix of microbes, so even if there is exposure it may have to be much worse to actually get you sick (although I have no data on the latter.)

    @darthnihilus1608 Před 11 měsíci +10

    A couple things to add to your video. Given that they produce soft serve they can get away with no homogenization as they don't freeze it as low or keep it frozen. Smaller fat globules are more efficient at encasing air (overrun), which is essential for ice cream. Especially if it's frozen solid and eaten later. These air bubbles help it melt more evenly in your mouth, as does a more even dispersed fat, but at the same time also prolongs meltdown while eating.
    Homogenization is also why we add emulsifiers to our ice cream, contrary to popular belief not to keep the emulsion from separation (the proteins already to that) but rather to stop the proteins from keeping up an efficient emulsion. Emulsifiers bind to the fat globules and prevent protein from binding to them and thus causing partial coalescence. Which is wanted for a variety of different things.
    Another thing to add to your final comment on sweetness is that usually not just sucrose is added, but a variety of different sugars. Again, I'm more talking in ice cream not soft serve. Different sugars have different POD (sweetness) and PAC (freezing point depression), and affect melting, storage and crystallization. No ice cream is 100% sucrose because it'd be too gritty.
    Cruze Farm likely has dextrose (or even lactose) added to it for these reasons. So it likely contains as much sugar as the rest, but the POD is just different hence why it's perceived as less sweet; calories are different too of course.
    Last but not least, while this applies to most ice confections, I'm specifically talking about ice cream (which here in Australia must have >10% milk fat to be called that).

    "Less sweet more fat" describes how I like my food .... and me!
    When I was growing up we had a Jersey 'house cow' that was hand-milked and the milk (and dairy products) were consumed 'raw'. I miss that so much. Back then about half of the dairy herds were Jerseys and they were the preferred house cow for their gentle nature, better quality milk and slightly lower yield. (Most families didn't need 8 gallons a day, even when they made butter and cheese as we did. Also milking Holsteins takes longer due to quantity.)
    I can attest to the fact that happy cows not only give more milk but better milk. You could tell when my brother (who didn't have a lot of patience or animal empathy) was rostered on to do the milking by the taste of the milk.

    our local chain grocery store recently started stocking a local milk that comes in glass bottles (it has a $2 refundable deposit). It's pricey, but I like that I can return the bottles and that it's local! You do have to shake the milk, but that's part of the fun :3

    In Nigeria, fresh milk isn’t as common because electricity isn’t as stable especially in remote areas so you get a lot of variation depending on where you are. In most cities or sub urban cities, you get powdered milk that you mix with water (I grew up drinking that and I still do). You also have tinned cream that’s usually advertised as milk but it’s very thick. We also have condensed and evaporated milk that comes tinned. But if you’re in the north and middle belt you get to enjoy no-no which is a fermented yogurt milk drink. Very tasty with Fura (ground millet with spices).
    Because of the electricity issue, most products that don’t keep in room temperature aren’t as common in Nigeria. You either get it dried, tinned, or fermented.

You tend to get a much better product that has been made with quality in mind, and you’re supporting a local family. As soon as Australia lifted their lockdown, me and my girlfriend drove to Hunter Valley and did a tour of the local wineries, and stayed at a family owned bed and breakfast. We wanted a great time, and to help the local economy, and it was absolutely perfect. One of the best getaways we’ve ever had. We had locally made wines, cheeses, fruits, and even some beautiful homemade maple bacon. It was amazing.

    I live in the Tararua district in New Zealand. Lots and I mean lots of dairy cows around me, a few farmers even have Jersey cows. They are all grass fed, but they are given palm kernel husks, maze (the whole plant cut up tiny) and bailage to supplement their feed. I've wrapped bailage as a job before too, but the small sized ones that a person can pick up. Once it has fermented it smells really good.

      I've drunk raw milk for 12 years, the last two using milk from my own cows. I've looked at my cow's raw milk under the microscope and it looks like Yakult. It's jam packed with beneficial bacteria and looks like static unless you water your sample down - very cool to see. Pasteurised milk in contrast looks like an empty wasteland. Raw milk has never made me sick and our daughter won't drink pasteurised milk now (I simply cannot as it upsets my stomach). But you must know your source and their hygiene practices. Would definitely be awesome to hear an unbiased view on raw milk.

    I started work at an ice creamery this year and one of the flavors we make is "Tasmanian Honey and Blueberry". The costumers love it and its my current favorite as well. Apparently according to my boss, the honey used comes from bees on the island of Tasmania and he says they only collect nectar from leatherwood trees, which is what gives the ice-cream these super floral but not overly sweet notes. Its really good.

Maybe you can touch on that subject sometime. Great video, as ususal BTW.

    There's a fast-food dairy producer in the state I live in, Oklahoma, and they don't ship at all outside the state. They serve hamburgers and ice cream. While they do have soft serve it's frozen yoghurt. Their ice cream is the kind you dip with an ice cream scoop. They have some great flavors, my favorite being their peppermint. It has tiny round red and green peppermint candies in it. If you're ever in Oklahoma, the place is called Braum's. On a cone or in a sundae, it's really good ice cream.
