The Story of our Yoghurt & Labneh
Verlorenkloof Farm we have gone back to a time when dairy farmers hand-crafted yoghurt from full fat milk, adding just a pinch of cultures and straining it by hand to produce an all-natural, plain double cream yoghurt. That is why we call it: Yoghurt As It Should Be. Our secret lies in exceptionally high-quality milk produced by a herd of pure-bred Friesland cows grazing on pastures maintained through careful natural farming practices. The fresh milk is inoculated and fermented in stainless steel vats. The final product is what real yoghurt should taste like without a hint of preservatives, thickeners, flavourings or any other additives.
To make our labneh, we add a bit of salt to our double thick yoghurt and hand-strain it for a further 2 days to produce a thick and creamy, smooth spreadable cheese, similar to cream cheese, but with a unique and distinct yoghurt taste.
Verlorenkloof Yoghurt ‘As It Should Be’ is produced:
- by the most natural, time-honoured methods
- with the utmost integrity
- by a special farming community
- in a very special place
- to the highest quality and safety standards.
This is why we distribute and sell Verlorenkloof Farm yoghurt with pride and enthusiasm.
The Benefits of our yoghurt
Yoghurt is the product of milk that has been fermented primarily by a class of bacteria called Lactobacillus. This bacteria converts lactose (the main sugar in milk) into lactic acid and in so doing reduces the pH of the milk from around 7 down to 4.6 or there...
Production of our yoghurt
By maintaining the perfect soil balance through regular testing and mineral replenishment, our lush pastures yield nutrient-rich grasses thanks to pure, aerated water. Our joyful cows graze happily, resulting in top-notch milk crafted into creamy yogurt using a probiotic culture, making flavors boundless. It's udderly delightful and only gets cheddar with time!
