At Golden Valley we represent quality, community and care for our planet
We’ve been delivering milk to doorsteps for decades, and are proud to keep our traditional roots alive. Though these days we have upgraded from the traditional milk float and the nostalgic clanging of the glass bottles, our community-driven spirit has stayed at the very heart of what we do.
We deliver fresh produce, straight from our dedicated kosher factory direct to your doorstep with first-class service that only years of experience can provide.
Say goodbye to the chaos of the corner shop dash to get milk for your hungry kids or for your morning cuppa. Enjoy regular orders of your milk, by simply placing your order by 9pm on our dedicated voicemail, website or app, and it’ll be waiting at your door by 7am on your next delivery day. You can easily skip or cancel regular deliveries to suit your schedule.
Where does our milk come from?
The journey begins in the lush emerald pastures surrounding the Manchester area, nourished only by rain and sunlight.
The dairy herds can roam freely among hectors of arable land set aside for grazing. This diet changes for only a few months each year when the cows are fed hay through the winter.
Our milk production starts very early in the morning, with the mashgiach arriving in the farm in time for the 3.45am milking. After the usual thorough checks and final approval from the mashgiach, the herdsman can commence with the milking. Several hours later with the milk being cooled to around 4 degrees the milk is then collected by a tanker and taken to Golden Valley’s unique kosher milk factory.
Using our own dedicated kosher machinery, which is sealed by the mashgiach after each use, the milk is immediately pasteurised at high temperatures to ensure any harmful bacteria that may be present are removed, the milk is then homogenised to break down the fat so that the cream doesn’t separate once in the bottle. This is then bottled as whole milk.
To produce skimmed milk the milk goes through a further stage and is passed through a separator, where it is skimmed to remove all the cream. The milk that is left after all the cream has been removed is bottled as skimmed milk, with virtually no fat, and the remaining cream sold on as whipping cream. In order to produce semi-skimmed milk, the two types of milk are mixed together to produce milk with a 1.8% fat content. The milk is then bottled into the various size containers, labelled and taken into the cooled storage area.
The fresh milk is then delivered straight to our strategically located depot in the local area, where our milkmen collect and load it onto the vans and then deliver this straight to your doorstep where you can feel the freshness in every drop of fresh and pure milk.

Milk - an important source of Calcium
While milk products aren’t the only source of calcium, enjoying them as part of a healthy diet makes it easier to meet our needs for calcium and many other nutrients needed for bone health. Calcium is particularly important for the health of our children whilst they are growing up.
Calcium is essential for growing strong bones and teeth during childhood and adolescence. Having strong bones helps to protect against fractures when you are older. Calcium is also needed for our heartbeat, blood pressure control and muscle function.
Milk products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, are the main source of calcium in the diet. Milk and milk products contain good amounts of calcium that has good bioavailability, meaning that it is easily accessible to the body. In contrast, most plant sources contain lower amounts of calcium and/or calcium that’s less bioavailable, meaning it’s less available to the body.
