Blue Bay - Goat Milk Kefir - Probiotic (500mL)

Kefir is fermented milk and an amazing source of probiotics. Blue Bay Kefir, from Mornington, Victoria is an Australian gold award-winning brand and is made from premium organic milk, has no added thickeners or preservatives and best of all it tastes divine!

The Taste

Kefir has the lovely dairy aroma of milk with the pleasant scent of fresh yoghurt. Although slightly viscous it has a clean mouth feel and finishes with a clean tang. It has the length of flavour of the lightest curd cheese and a pleasing savoury sensation. When it hits the stomach it doesn’t cause the heaviness of having consumed milk (think drinking a milkshake or Big M). Unlike milk, kefir just seems to feel good.

Blue Bay’s Kefir Production 

Blue Bay has brought kefir into the 21st century by applying traditional techniques to modern equipment and standards and by using some of the best organic milk in the country. To make it, Blue Bay’s team gently and slowly heat milk to 65C to kill potential pathogens while retaining fat structure and enzymes. The milk is never homogenised. A mix of 12 strains of beneficial live cultures – good bacteria that consume the lactose in the milk and turn it into lactic acid – are then added. The lactic acid gives the kefir its clean taste and makes the proteins in the milk change their structure to form a net or matrix that captures the liquid and other nutrients in a lovely smooth thick texture. It’s a thorough process that takes 16 hours.
