DAIRY SUCCESS: David and Julie Hinchliffe enjoy the success of their new product Robe Dairy Jersey Milk, which is popular throughout the region. Robe dairy delight Jersey milk product springs to success THE start of spring has ushered in the arrival of an exciting new product to the South East. Robe Dairy Jersey Milk has proven popular across the region as a farming family takes control of its own product. Sweet and rich with a creamy yellow colour, the jersey milk reminds older customers of the cream-topped milk once delivered to their doorsteps. Built and run by the Hinchliffe family, Robe Dairy is a brand new dairy and cheesery proudly sourcing and processing fresh milk from its own small herd of jersey cows. “We decided to go with jerseys because we wanted a premium milk for making cheese,” David Hinchliffe said. “The milk is our first product and we’re currently working on an authentic strained yoghurt, followed by cheese.” Debuting in Robe Foodland, the milk was quick to attract a loyal following and resulted in good sales for a quiet time of the year. “We’re so pleased with how locals have embraced it,” Julie Hinchliffe said. “We’ve had terrific feedback from young families through to older people who reminisce about scalded cream. “We’ve heard a lot of praise from people who grew up www.thesoutheasterntimes.com.au with milk on the farm or have worked in dairies. “They say our milk tastes how they remember it straight from the vat or straight from the cow.” Robe Dairy has chosen not to add or remove anything from the milk, leaving it free to express natural variation across the season and lactation. We decided to go with jerseys because we wanted a premium milk for making cheese - the milk is our first product and we’re currently working on an authentic strained yoghurt, followed by cheese David Hinchliffe The milk has not been homogenised so the cream rises to the top. Beta carotene in the jerseys’ diet produces the creamy yellow colour, which is a sign the cows have had access to green feed. The Hinchliffe family has lived on the small grazing property outside Robe for the past nine years. David and Julie have a science and environmental background and have had to learn everything from scratch. Milking cows and making cheese represented a second career and lifestyle opportunity for the pair. “We love being with the ani- mals, we love local produce and good food and we are motivated by the science and innovation that goes into cheesemaking,” Julie said. Confronted with so much milk, they have made fresh cheese and yoghurt in the family kitchen, along with a restrained amount of scalded cream, butter, cultured cream, ice cream, fudge and clotted cream. Two years ago, David travelled to New Zealand for specialist cheesemaking training and experience after being awarded a grant from Food and Beverage Development Fund SA Inc. He has completed various courses and is currently working on French-style cheeses, in particular surface-ripened white mould cheeses. David and Julie plan to open a farm shop in the future. Robe Dairy milk is available at Robe Foodland and Mount Gambier’s She’s Apples in two litre cartons. More than just fuel.
