Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 >> Being in Ohio I don't know much about Straus other than their excellent reputation. Can anyone on the list confirm that their cows are exclusively pastured? Anyone used their butter? << They are near me - I don't know if their cows are exclusively pastured or not, but they are extensively pastured. Their butter is good, but if I can't get raw (Org Pastures is the one here), I find that the various European butters taste a lot better to me. Of course, my devotion to KerryGold has probably corrupted my taste buds. To me that is the perfect butter. <G> Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 I emailed Straus in April 2002 to ask if their milk tested higher for CLA levels. Vivien Straus emailed back: " We assume our CLA levels are higher than most because our cows are grazing from spring through fall and are fed fermented cut grasses that we grow during the winter months. However, we have never had our milk tested. We don't know where it would be tested or how expensive it would be (we assume it would be very expensive). " As for the butter it is delicious, very sweet and creamy. In a list of butterfat content posted at a health food store, Straus listed as one of the highest fat content, lowest moisture. Straus may have even been number one, above several imported brands. As an aside, their vanilla ice cream is incredible and, according to the label, very high in vit. A. I have no connection to Straus, just a customer. > Being in Ohio I don't know much about Straus other than their > excellent reputation.
