What Are Milk Products?

Milk products are foods made directly from milk, ranging from essential staples like fresh milk and cream to extended offerings such as cheese, butter, and yoghurt. They play a vital role in nutrition, daily diets, and food service operations. Beyond dairy alone, Elmfield Farm Dairies complements these essentials with eggs, bakery items, meats, drinks, and grocery products, making it a one-stop provider for households and businesses.

Fresh Milk: The Everyday Essential

Fresh milk remains the foundation of all milk products. Elmfield Farm Dairies offers a wide range to suit diverse dietary preferences:


  • Whole Milk
  • Semi-Skimmed Milk
  • Skimmed Milk
  • Organic Milk
  • Lactose-Free Milk


Whether for family breakfasts, coffee shops, or care homes, fresh milk provides the daily nutrition and versatility customers need. Its quality and freshness set the tone for everything else we deliver.

Creams: From Everyday Use to Culinary Excellence

Cream products add richness and indulgence to both sweet and savoury dishes. Our range includes:


  • Double Cream
  • Single Cream
  • Whipping Cream
  • Spray Cream
  • Clotted Cream
  • Soured Cream


Chefs in restaurants, bakers in cafés, and families preparing desserts all rely on these variations to create texture, flavour, and satisfaction.

Cheese: A Versatile Favourite

Cheese is a cornerstone of milk products, used in countless dishes across households and businesses. From sandwiches in schools to gratins in restaurants, cheese is as versatile as it is loved. Elmfield Farm Dairies offers a selection of cheeses chosen for quality, freshness, and appeal to varied tastes.

Butter and Spreads: Daily Comforts

Few products rival the simple pleasure of butter on warm bread. In addition to butter, we provide spreads that suit everyday household needs and the operational demands of cafés, bakeries, and retail outlets.

Yoghurts and Jams: Breakfast and Beyond

To complement core dairy, yoghurts and jams add variety to menus and shopping baskets. Yoghurts offer a healthy snack or breakfast option, while jams remain a classic pairing for bread, pastries, and puddings.

Eggs, Bakery Goods, and Groceries: Expanding Beyond Dairy

Elmfield Farm Dairies understands that customers value convenience. That is why our product range extends beyond milk products to include:


  • Fresh eggs
  • Breads and bakery items

  • Grocery essentials such as cereals, tea, coffee, pasta, rice, flour, condiments, sauces, snacks, and even cleaning products


By offering a complete basket of goods, we simplify ordering for businesses and families alike.

The Role of Milk Products in B2B Supply

For small businesses like cafés and bakeries, reliable access to fresh milk and cream ensures consistency in their menus. Retail outlets depend on regular deliveries to keep shelves stocked. Institutions such as schools, hospitals, and care homes rely on large-volume, dependable supply chains to meet strict daily demand. Elmfield Farm Dairies bridges these needs with timely deliveries, no minimum order requirements, and flexible ordering options.

Why Freshness Matters

Milk products are perishable, and freshness directly impacts taste, nutrition, and safety. By sourcing locally and maintaining strict quality control, Elmfield Farm Dairies guarantees customers always receive milk products at peak freshness. This is especially critical for businesses serving the public, where reliability and trust form the foundation of success.
