It’s rare for anyone on the menu to have milk or milk products in one form or another. The number of manufacturers of these products is growing from year to year, the consumer choice is great, but one aspect remains relevant - quality. To assess it to the average person, numerous studies are offered, inspections are carried out at enterprises. The results are then published in the media, but questions still remain. Neither contests nor checks provide an accurate picture of the product. For most consumers, the “voice of the people” is an important source in the selection and evaluation of quality - reviews. Products "Village milk" is in demand, manufactured in a wide range, and consumer ratings remain consistently positive.
From creation to the present day
In 1931, the Asinovsky Butter Factory was opened in the Novosibirsk Region. In 1946, it was renamed “Asinovsky City Dairy Plant”, it was located in its former place, but the region changed its name and began to be called Tomsk. In the period 2004-2013, the enterprise was part of the Siberian Agrarian Group holding. In 2010, reconstruction was carried out, as a result of which all production facilities were transferred to Seversk.
For the new plant, advanced pasteurization-cooling equipment was installed, which allows preserving all the qualities of milk and its derivatives during processing. The packaging of the final product took place in a sealed package Flowpack. Since 2011, Village Milk has been packaged using a PET line.
