Saffire Freycinet has set a new global standard by becoming the first luxury resort to embrace climate-friendly eco milk. This exceptional milk is the product of a groundbreaking collaboration between Ashgrove Cheese and Sea Forest Australia. By integrating a unique supplement derived from Tasmanian red seaweed, known as Asparagopsis, into the diet of their dairy cows, these industry pioneers have managed to craft a milk that retains its rich, creamy flavour while drastically reducing its environmental impact.

About Ashgrove Eco-Milk™

The introduction of Ashgrove Eco-Milk™ is a monumental achievement in sustainable agriculture. It is not merely another dairy product but a visionary solution to one of the planet’s most pressing challenges – climate change. Ashgrove Managing Director Richard Bennett heralds this innovation as a pivotal moment, underscoring the partnership with Sea Forest, a finalist in the prestigious 2023 Earthshot Prize, as a testament to their commitment to a sustainable future.

Eco-Milk™ is produced by cows that continue to graze on lush pastures, enjoying a diet enriched with SeaFeed™, a special muesli mix that includes the red seaweed supplement. This innovative feeding strategy significantly reduces methane emissions during digestion, making the cows’ contribution to greenhouse gases much lower. This reduction in methane emissions is a significant leap forward in the global effort to combat climate change, all while maintaining the uncompromised quality and taste that Ashgrove is known for.

This pioneering approach represents a world first in commercially available fresh milk with a reduced carbon footprint, offering consumers the opportunity to indulge in a product that is not only delicious but also aligned with their environmental values.

Saffire Freycinet’s adoption of this eco-conscious milk further cements its dedication to sustainability offering guests an experience that is as mindful as it is luxurious.
