Bethel Farms Dairy / CY Dairy

[ExGingi]

Yes, they also have an exclusive poultry farm: http://pellehpoultry.com/about-pelleh-poultry/

I wonder if they will get into ice cream?

They definitely won me over with their yogurt.

Rant:

Can anyone please explain to me why there are around 5 different brands of cottage cheese (plus a low fat, full fat, and non-fat version of each) and they all look like this?










Why can't a single one of them look like this?





Who needs 5 versions of the same garbage?

[wayfe]

So is Bethel an exclusive CY company at the next level (Shomer Shabbos ownership?) up from Kreider/POTF?

I'll agree that POTF outperforms Klein's/Mehadrin's ice cream, but is their milk really better than the standard options?
I thought it was just ultra-processed and filtered to make it last longer?

Which is why I never touch Cottage Cheese in the US, the only good Cottage Cheese I've had is the Israeli version (only 9% milkfat, never the 5%).

I have no idea. I don't think I've even tried POTF ice cream, and I'm not much of a milk consumer (just a bit in my coffee). Just going off what I've seen on DDF.

I was wondering the same. A while ago they were experimenting with cheeses on their IG, but I don't know if it ever made it to market.

First I'm just waiting for them to come out with heavy cream and I'll start experimenting with my own ice cream! I have made incredible dulce de leche with their milk.

Ah, interesting. So it gets to consumers faster?

[ExGingi]

I will let DW and DD know about this. I'm sure they will be delighted.

I'm going to do a blind taste test comparing POTF and Golden Flow. Or should I do Devash?

Devash is definitely second best.

Most, if not all are made in the same plant

Bethel : POTF = Brooklyn Artisan Bakehouse : Stern's.

So who needs all these kosher brands???

Same with canned goods, potato chips, etc.

Why can't we have different brands that actually cater to different standards.

Not disagreeing.

It's essentially different standards of Kashrus.

Yup, I know of shluchim in far flung places that can get C"Y locally, but they only eat Ahava/CHK C"Y...
