Some people have tried other ‘replacement milks’ when they find ordinary cow’s milk doesn’t agree with them – like rice milk, oat milk, and even almond milk. So to shed some ore light ion the options available, we took a look at each of these to see how they measure up.

Since Sunday, our popular television commercial for Pauls Zymil is again being shown on TV. Already, people have been requesting that we upload it to the blog, so here it is. Enjoy!

We humans have been loving milk for thousands of years, and most of us can’t imagine life without it. Poured over breakfast cereal, it’s just the thing to get us going in the morning. And perfect for sending us off to sleep as a warm drink at night.

If you are lactose sensitive or have problems digesting ordinary cow’s milk, you’ve probably already tried soy milk – the most popular alternative milk on the market.

A recipe to impress! The richness of the almond and vanilla create a first class dessert and will have your dinner guests asking for more.
