Stewart's Shop Milk Named Best in NYS
September 01, 2022
Did you hear the MOOS?
Stewart’s Shops milk has been named the BEST in New York State, by Cornell University Department of Food Science. This award was presented on Dairy Day, September 1st. The recognition is part of Cornell’s New York State Milk Quality Improvement Program.
Cornell University collected samples from New York State plants. The samples of whole milk, 2%, 1%, fat free milk, flavored milk, and chocolate milk were scored on various criteria, including best flavor. Milk samples are judged on microbial analyses, fat determination, freezing point and flavor.
Stewart’s Shops proudly took top honors in the milk categories and to celebrate this award, we are giving out double punches on Milk Club Cards from Monday, September 5th to Sunday, September 11th! Don’t miss out!
We Moo For You
We partner with 23 local dairy farms to source our raw milk. Our drivers pick up the milk daily, we process and bottle it ourselves at our manufacturing plant in Greenfield, NY to ensure the highest standards of quality.
When it comes to dairy products, buying local is key to nutrition. Fresh milk, which is guaranteed at all Stewart’s Shops, can bypass the ultra-pasteurization process; a procedure which allows milk to remain shelf-stable for up to six months. Stewart’s requires that all milk be pasteurized for safety; however the extremely high heat of the ultra-pasteurization process is not necessary, because every carton of milk is sold within days of leaving local farms! And with a Stewart’s Shop available in every neighborhood, you are never far from farm-fresh milk!
According to Stewart’s Shops president, Gary Dake, “With roots in dairy, we pride ourselves on our longstanding history of providing fresh and local milk to our customers. This Best Milk award is a testament to our hard-working dairy farmers and our experience in the dairy industry. Our customers can feel good about buying their milk and ice cream from Stewart’s Shops knowing that they are supporting local dairy farmers.”
Chris Koval, of Koval Brothers is a third-generation dairy farmer that has been working with Stewart’s his entire life. He said, “As a local farm family, we are proud to work with Stewart’s. Our partnership is a true team effort. We work together to put the best product from our cows out to store shelves. It’s gratifying to be able to supply high quality, fresh product to our friends and neighbors. Stewart’s makes it easy to be proud of what we do.”
