Tantalise Your
Taste Buds
Great Britain is a great nation, especially
when it comes to food. Our taste buds
have developed over the years and we’re
now enjoying a wide range of cuisines right
on our doorstep. Indian, Italian, Mexican,
Spanish, French, Turkish, Greek and Chinese
dishes are no longer delicacies; they’re an
essential part of modern-day British diets.
Before these mouth-watering foods hit
our shores, we still had a fantastic taste for
food. Melt-in-the-mouth fish and chunky
chips, succulent roast beef and tantalising
trifle and custard are traditional British
foods that have been enjoyed for centuries.
The home of Cadbury’s and Walkers
Crisps, the Midlands produce a diverse

In recent years, we’ve taken an increasing
interest in our food: where it comes
from, how it’s produced and what’s in it.
Lubcloud Dairy was established five years
ago to cater for milk, and cream, lovers
who crave locally produced, organic dairy
products that don’t just taste delicious
but also take in account the welfare and
well-being of the cows.
Surrounded by beautiful Leicestershire
countryside, Lubcloud Dairy and Lubcloud
Organic Farm are owned and run by Phil
Newcombe. He told Reflect: “We started
off in 2005 producing 300 litres of milk, and
we’re now producing 12,000 litres per week.
Our cows graze on pastures that don’t use
any artificial fertiliser, pesticides or herbicides,
meaning or grasses have high levels of
trace elements, vitamins and no harmful
chemical residues. After milking our cows, we
pasteurise their milk and almost immediately
range of foods due to the diversity of the
land. Fertile fields, rural grasslands and
fantastic road links all contribute towards
the excellence of the produce from the
heart of Britain. Also there are a variety of
cheeses produced in the Midlands including
Derby Cheese, Shropshire Blue, Red
Leicester and Stilton.
The best way to experience food is to get
cooking. Cooking from scratch is not only
fun, it’s cheaper than buying ready-made
meals. It’s also healthier, as you can use
fresh, seasonal ingredients, steamed or
grilled to perfection. If you’re not sure what
to cook, pick up a cook book from any
good book store and get cooking!
bottle it in our modern diary, ensuring we can
supplier our milk faster and fresher.”
Lubcloud Dairy produce a range of
products including:
• Whole milk
• Semi-Skimmed milk
• Skimmed milk
• Pourable cream
• Extra Thick cream
Phil added: “Our semi-skimmed milk is
our best selling milk, but our cream range
sells the best, especially our Extra Thick
Cream, which is similar to clotted cream.
We’re hoping to launch a range of yoghurts
before Christmas, and have just launched
a range of sausages. The sausages came
about because we were wasting a lot of milk
in order to meet our cream demands, so

Finally Phil added: “Our milk and cream is
healthier than standardised milk because
we don’t homogenise our milk and cream.
Homogenisation started in the 1930s, and
involves an aggressive, mechanical process
that involves passing milk through pipes and
fine filters at high pressures, which breaks
down the fat portion of the milk in to very
small globules. These tiny fat globules remain
in suspension and do not rise to the top of
the milk. There’s a link between a rise in
cholesterol levels and the homogenisation
process, so as an organic and natural dairy
farm, we ensure our milk and cream is as
close as it can be to how nature intended.”
