Question re organic and non organic milk

[fuchsia0703]

When we started to use organic semi skimmed milk rather than non organic, we discovered it will not froth to make cappucino type coffee. Bought a non organic last weekend and it froths beautifully. Does anyone know why - surely they should be identical in make up - just the organic is purer?

You really want the answer? Really?

Less mucus.

I would also check whether either of the milks you have used are homogenised as well as pasteurised. That could be a factor.
Studies are starting to show that Omega 3s are more present in organic milk than non-organic.
Colditz could well be right - a lot of routine dosing of ABs is given to non-organically reared cows.
Switch to latte and stay organic IMO

organic milk froths when it'swarm, but not cold. heat it first, then froth

Less mucas??? Well I didnt know that.
So can I confirm with you all then,that organic milk is better?And also kinder to the animal?

We have organic milk, and the full-fat froths better.

Some non-organic milk will come from dairy herds that are well-treated, but not all, whereas buying certified organic gives you a guarantee of certain things (Soil Association website would probably explain).
Organic = better for environment too.

Yuk ... we do froth it warm.

Pret A Manger uses organic semi-skim, and that seems to froth fine
Ring Julian Metcalfe for his secret

.they probably have a super douper expensive cappucino making machine - we have a little hand held frother - however .. it does work with non organic semi skimmed

isn't it to do with organic cows eating grass as they should do but non organic cows eat sheep guts? then the guts turn into mucus cos they can't really digest them? so non organic has about 30% mucus content and organic is about 3%??

either way we buy organic.
