In a review of yoghurts being sold in Ireland I would always want to know where the milk comes from. Do Killowen have their own dairy, do they buy Irish milk or imported milk? If they are using Irish milk does it always come from mostly the same suppliers and how local are the suppliers to Killowen.
These sort of facts are important to me for a few reasons. I never use dairy products that are not Irish sourced because I wish to support Irish farming families however my prime reason is because of incineration.
I will not use a dairy product that is sourced from an area that has an active incinerator. Dioxins travel up the food chain resulting in the highest levels being found in dairy animals (and human breast milk).
Sad but true.
Killowen are about as authentic as you can get. Produced by the Dunne family on their own farm, using milk from their own herd. This is one of the best examples of a genuine, top quality, Irish product which is priced competitively against any other branded yogurt you care to mention.
