4 promises to our customers are particularly important to us:

80% of our fresh milk comes from cows that live and graze in the meadow from spring to autumn. This guarantees a better quality milk, with more flavour.

Better fats
Studies in Great Britain and the Netherlands have shown that milk from cows that eat more fresh grass contains more better fats than other milk. This gives us the basis for fresh milk with more flavour and of a better quality.

Cows produce fresh milk every day
The vital link between the milk producers throughout the region and the production companies is our milk collection system, a considerable logistical feat. The company responsible for the milk collection within our group, the Belgian Milk Company (BMC), collects the fresh milk daily from 260 dairy farmers in the area. The collection takes place with tank trucks equipped specifically for the collection of milk at farms.

Quality and food safety are our main priorities. All companies comply with all applicable legislation and HACCP standards.

All production units are also BRC and IFS certified, based on unannounced inspections. This enables us to meet all quality requirements of our customers at all times.

Rigorous quality controls throughout the entire chain
Our own laboratories provide a full quality follow-up throughout the chain: from the raw milk we receive up to the delivery of the finished products.

However, good quality does not result from the work of the quality control department alone, it is a joint effort of all our employees. An absolute focus on quality and food safety is a daily priority for every employee.

Right from the start, when collecting the fresh milk we carry out our inspections. The driver smells the milk to check that it smells good, and then assesses the colour and temperature. At the same time a sample of the milk is taken. An independent quality control station examines the quality of the milk supplied based on that sample.

When storing the fresh milk in large storage tanks on site, another set of samples is taken.

Ultra-modern production lines are equipped with all the necessary precautions, including:
