At our production plants, raw milk delivered from farms is tested for fat and nonfat milk solids by a milk composition inspection, total bacteria count by a sanitary inspection, and flavor by a sensory inspection. Only raw milk that passes all of these tests is accepted for use in our products.
In addition to these inspections, the raw milk used to make the Meiji Oishii Gyunyu series is also inspected and analyzed regularly in our laboratories to ensure that only the best raw milk is used.
Production method developed to deliver the taste of fresh raw milk. Removing oxygen from raw milk to improve the flavor of milk, this process ensures the natural refreshing aroma, subtle sweetness, and mild richness of raw milk just as it is, with a crisp aftertaste.
The Meiji Oishii Gyunyu series is produced using the natural taste production method, which removes oxygen from raw milk immediately after it is delivered to the plant and prior to heat pasteurization, during which oxidation tends to occur, to minimize changes in flavor.
To deliver the guaranteed deliciousness of the Meiji Oishii Gyunyu series steadily to customers, quality checks are continued right up to the time of shipment. Prior to shipment from the factory, a specialist panel of sensory inspectors, who can distinguish the natural fresh flavor of raw milk, checks the flavor of products.
The 900 ml and 450 ml products are packaged in Meiji’s freshness packaging, which prevents contact with air and has excellent light shielding performance to preserve the delicious flavor of fresh raw milk. The container has a cap to retain the fresh aroma even after opening.
