Did you know it has been voted the ‘Best Dairy Butter’ option in the UK? This was by Ethical Consumer Magazine, a publication which ranks consumer products based on factors including environmental impact, animals, politics, product sustainability and company ethos.
Beautifully creamy, this butter is produced in small batches at the Acorn Dairy farm with only a short walk for the Tweddle family cows located in a nearby pasture.
They feed the best, organic forage with clover & herbs to their Dairy Shorthorns and the cream in their milk churns to fantastic butter. Made with only two ingredients – organic cream and a dash of salt.
Caroline and Graham are always looking for new ways to reduce the business’ footprint & improve their sustainable credentials. They have recently stopped using greaseproof paper and sellotape for butter wrapping in favour of a 100 per cent home compostable packaging. In conjunction with a company in Harrogate Acorn Dairy have developed a machine to pack the butter neatly in a home compostable wrap.
“It is still cut with a cheese wire and then placed on the wrapper, and with some clever folding, the compostable wrap encompasses the butter roll and gives an air-tight seal.
“The wrap will simply go in with customers vegetable or garden waste and compost down with access to moisture & air, ultimately becoming soil after passing through a friendly worm!”
