Along with the 150th year of Dutch Dairy Heritage celebration, FrieslandCampina, the brand owner of Friso® Gold, takes this opportunity to honour their dedication in preserving milk nutrition.
Their passion for nutrition is certainly reflected in the time spent in providing high quality milk nutrition to millions daily since 1871.
It’s 1,314,000 hours in 150 years.
While we should not underestimate what it takes to grow a business over 150 years, their longevity lies in their belief that nature is the best and also on their passion for quality.
There’s also the efforts of the member dairy farmers working alongside their dedicated employees and their innovation in technology. These have certainly led Friso® Gold to grow continuously with products that enhance the quality of life and a healthier future.
Without further ado, let us walk you through their burning passion towards producing high quality milk powder with utmost nutrition for children worldwide daily.
The Journey of Relentless Dedication With Friso® Gold
#1 Introducing Their Dairy Farmers and Friesian Cows
Today, Friso® Gold is present in so many countries across the world. This does not only give them an opportunity to mark the anniversary in different places, it also serves as an acknowledgement for their member dairy farmers. Their hard work and commitment are what delivers success in Friso® Gold.
They have 16,995 member dairy farmers operating 11,100 dairy farms all over the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany who are empowered in decision making to ensure the quality of milk supplied are top notch. With this, their member dairy farmers have supplied over 10,064 kilograms of milk worldwide.
To ensure the quality of the milk, their dairy farmers put in their consistent effort in looking after their cows and lands. Here’s how long they have spent on each Friesian cow to mature naturally in a stress-free environment: 17520 hours.
In these long hours, they study and monitor the optimal temperature in the barn. They ensure the cows obtain a variety of exercise options, clean drinking water and a varied and balanced feed ration.
They also allow their cows to enjoy six hours of outdoor grazing time daily for natural nutrition.
[ To ensure the cows obtain ultimate nutrition from the ryegrass, their dairy farmers spend around 672 hours for the ryegrass to grow 15 cm just for the 3.5 gram of protein of every 100ml of milk. ]
Undoubtedly, their member dairy farmers are determined to deliver the highest quality milk around the world. Here’s what they have faith in:
Only when we care about the quality of the grass and the cow’s living conditions, can we ensure the quality of milk production.
#2 Ensuring Their Milk Quality From Transport To Production
In addition to the hard work of the member dairy farmers, they also take every trivial step into consideration. It starts from collecting fresh milk in the farm. To transport the milk to the production factory, their drivers would pump the milk from the bulk tank into their milk tanker truck under safe and sanitary conditions at an ideal temperature of four degree Celsius.
Moving onto their production facilities, their dedicated staffs process the milk into products like cheese, infant nutrition, butter and many more. To further ensure the quality and safety of the product, they undergo strict supervision by a government body, the Dutch Controlling Authority for Milk and Milk Products.
Here’s how long they have spent to professionally train generations of staffs in sustaining their highest professional standards: 43,800 hours.
The initiative truly reflects their determination to encourage their employees and staffs to work together to deliver future success.
Their dedication does not stop here.
They even tap into their capacity to invent and innovate to bring excellence to the market.
Their TrackEasy system will further reassure you that your children are consuming genuine and nutritious milk.
Simply scan the QR code at the bottom of any 900-gram Friso® Gold tins and you will be able to trace the origin of the milk.
As a bonus, you can even enjoy a panoramic 360° view of their farms in the Netherlands.
#3 Preserving More Than 90% of Natural Nutrients with LocNutri
Sharing their knowledge in nutrition, here’s a fact that they wish we are aware of: Protein in its native structure without over-heating is easier to digest and absorbed.
However, many milk brands in the market do not control the entire process from grass to glass as they source milk from a third party before reheating again with their own recipe.
This is never the case with Friso® Gold.
Friso® Gold milk goes through single processing with LocNutri
Why is this important?
While enjoying milk of premium quality, a good gut health is very important for absorption and utilisation of nutrients which would support the overall growth and development of your littles ones.
As Friso® Gold is striving their best to sustain controlled and constant temperature to minimise nutrient loss in milk, do you know that you can equally reduce nutrient loss in the meals that you prepare for your loved ones?
In conjunction with the 150 years of Dutch Dairy Heritage celebration, Friso® Gold is giving away 10 Thermomix Smart Kitchen Heating & Mixer Appliance. In line with the belief to preserve natural nutrients, Thermomix has been chosen as the ideal kitchen helper. This is due to the fact that it is popularly known as the easiest and healthiest way to prepare nutritious meals for your growing children with the temperature control function.
