Crème Fraiche
David and Kathy Biss who own the West Highland Dairy at Achmore by the Kyle of Lochalsh aren’t just expert cheese makers. They also make fantastic thick and creamy crème fraiche as well as excellent yoghurt too.
Yoghurt:
Rowan Glen Dairy Products based at Newton Stewart is Scotland’s leading yoghurt producer, producing pots in an assortment of mouth-watering flavours. Now the company has extended into drinking yoghurt, with the launch of Scotland’s first home-produced probiotic drink.
Ice Cream:
Once it was the Italians that came to Scotland and led the way as far as ice cream making was concerned. A visit to the East Lothian beaches in summertime, for example, wouldn’t be the same without a 99 from Luca’s in Musselburgh, an Italian family business legendary for its white vanilla ice cream. However, Scots haven’t been slow at catching on and now produce some of the best ice creams in the world. Mackie’s in Aberdeenshire, are one such successful cow to cone dairies using milk from their Jersey and Friesian herds to produce their delicious range of multi-award-winning natural ice creams. Orkney Creamery and Cream o’ Galloway dairy in Castle Douglas also produce some outstanding flavours as well as classic vanilla.
