Organic for Oz

摘要

In a new campaign called 'Taste Organic Milk', wine expert Oz Clarke investigates the taste behind the drink and lends his palette to creating vintner style 'tasting notes' for organic milk. The Taste Organic Milk campaign has been initiated by OMSCo, the Organic Milk Cooperative, and aims to encourage people to take more time to appreciate the real taste of milk as a drink. Oz spent a day milk tasting with OMSCo dairy farmer Mike Cottrell at his farm, Commonwork, in Kent. During his foray in the fields, Oz admits he's often asked what his desert island drink would be and reveals that people are usually surprised when he says organic milk. "Everyone expects me to pick some grand red wine, some exalted champagne or venerable vintage port. But I don't. I tell them that all I'd want is a supply of the finest, freshest, purest British organic farm milk." Oz describes smells such as the bright optimism of spring, the heat and haze of high summer, the mellow but wistful richness of autumn, and tastes such as home-made scones, dollops of thick whipped cream on Wimbledon strawberries and fresh churned butter on crisp new white bakers' bread.
