Yes Arla Organic Milk is a great source of essential nutrients such as calcium, protein, vitamin B12, vitamin B2, phosphorous and potassium. All those nutrients naturally present in milk contribute to the normal function of the body in everyday life. For example calcium is necessary for your bones, protein is needed for buidling muscle and potassium helps maintain a normal blood pressure.
At Arla,we believe that no single food is healthy or unhealthy. It’s all about how you combine them and the amount you eat. Globally, health authorities consider that milk and dairy products are part of a healthy diet. Milk is a great source of essential nutrients such as calcium, protein, vitamin B12, vitamin B2, phosphorous or potassium. All those nutrients naturally present in milk contribute to the normal function of the body in everyday life.
For Arla dairy farmers, animal welfare and sustainable farming go hand in hand. Dairy farming takes dedication and a real passion for milk and Arla farmers look after their milk cows according to Arla's quality and welfare routine , Arlagården, which makes sure that we keep our dairy cows healthy, comfortable and well fed at all times. Healthy cows are happy cows and happy cows produce more milk, and milk of a higher quality.
No. In line with European standards, Arla farmers do not give hormones to their cows to increase the amount of milk they produce. The cows do fine on their own, and when they're well fed and looked after, they will produce 25-30 litres of high quality, nutritious milk every day.
No. Arla Organic Milk is free from antibtiotics. If a cow gets sick, sometimes it has to be treated with antibiotics. When this happens, the cow's milk is separated and is not included in the milk that goes to the dairy. The vet will decide when the treatment is complete. We always document how many antibiotics are given and to which cow.
Our goal is to make organic products accessible to all. In order to do that they must be affordable and the product quality meets the modern consumer demands. Organic milk is more expensive because it costs the farmer more to produce it, and it takes around two years to convert a conventional farm to an organic farm.The main reasons are that non-GM feed is more expensive, fewer cows can be farmed per hectacre and the volume of milk that each organic cow produces is at a lower level.
In terms of environmental impact of the lifecycle of organic products and conventional products, the two can be very similar. However, organic production has to follow a set of rules regualting the production. Organic farming can be viewed as a quality assurance scheme pertaining to specified parameters: GM feed; pesticide; mandatory grazing; and additives or artificial substances used.
Arla Organic Milk is a UHT (Ultra High Temperature) milk and has all the natural goodness, vitamins and minerals of fresh cow’s milk. This makes it a naturally good source of healthy nutrition for the whole family. This process protects Arla Organic Milk while it is being transported from farms in Denmark to the UAE as it ensures a longer shelf-life, without any artificial preservatives

Organic milk comes from cows that have been raised according to organic farming methods. The cows are fed on a 100% organic diet. And organic farming practices prohibit the use of hormones, antibiotics, or artificial drugs in animal feed for the purpose of stimulating growth. This means that our organic milk is 100% naturally pure.
There are several differences between organic and conventional farming. The key differences are that organic farming uses natural fertilisers instead of chemical fertilisers often used in conventional farming. Organic farming practices also prohibit the use of hormones, antibiotics or other animal drugs in animal feed for the purposes of stimulating growth. Choosing Arla Organic Milk guarantees wildlife friendly farming without weed killers or artificial fertilisers and additional standards of sustainability. However, Arla does not use hormones or antibiotics in the farming methods for any of its conventional milk either.
The taste of milk, regardless of whether it is organically or conventionally produced, can differ slightly from bottle to bottle and season to season. Factors that may impact taste include location of the farm, breed of the cow, variations in cows’ feed from farm to farm, and even the time of year.
Organic milk is more expensive because it costs the farmer more to produce it. Fewer cows can be farmed per hectare of organic land and the volume of milk each organic cow produces is at a lower, more natural, level. This means the farmer has to charge more for the milk to cover his costs. Also, Arla pays its organic farmers a price premium in addition to the farm gate price.

All of Arla’s Organic Milk complies fully with controlled organic standards and regulations as certified by the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark.
