    By the Apostoles milk company, whom I've never heard of before, as it happens.

    Perhaps no. Sancor was based in Santa Fe province, not in BA province. Who knows?

    It is a good milk. I purchase this brand and, at least, there is no difference with La Serenisima, and much more affordable.

    I stopped buying SanCor long time ago, after seeing their story of life.....and of course after it was mentioned hourly in C5N ........another aerolíneas!!!!

    It would be great to subsidize and keep alive, if it wasn't for the fact that other well established and more efficient and economical stable would be disadvantaged!!!! This is the main problem with subsidized goods....

    I hope that this apostolos is a real company and not just another SanCor....

    I wish they'd stop putting additives in the milk such as extra vitamins. Nothing like chilled milk straight from the cow.

    San Cor milk is disgusting, so I only buy La Serenisima which is now 1,2,3 or 4% just to confuse us.

    I heard from a friend who came from Denmark to resolve the mess of Sancor (who was a very important company long time ago) and he said that due to the enormous wages got by the Cooperative administrators, and their lack of action to adapt the company to the new techniques, this company fall in bankruptcy.

    I heard as automation arrived it meant more and more of the well paid workforce used to sit about doing next to nothing.

    The wife insists on buying the watery stuff so although I've never been a milk drinker I add a touch of cream to my corn flakes in the morning to give it some taste. To think you only used to get two types of milk Silver top and the snobby Gold top. ^^

    I can't believe!!! :D

    I used to love watching C5N and their extreme contradictions....first they would talk about the horrible conditions for the employees and layoffs by SanCor......5 min later they would talk about the milk prices, and how extreme high they were!!!!

    There would be no link between the two clips in the program, like it was two totally separate things!!!! Hahahaha to funny!

    Wasn’t there a red top too? I’m trying to remember. Whole milk, skim milk and milk with about an inch of cream in the top of the bottle?

    I’m glad to know that this Apostoles milk tastes good. Sancor was terrible.

    Glass milk bottles are making a comeback in the UK because you can re-use them.

    read in German news, think it was WELT, that they are even worse in efficiency than the paper cartons......mainly because of the weight, transportation issues, and of course production costs.....at the end worse for the Eco system!!!! I like them, don't understand me wrong!!!

    Here too will be well received. I am fed up with the plastic bottles of one use only.

    It looks like it is forbidden to sell it.

    Quote from Infocampo

    Luego de que se conociera la noticia de que varios tambos comenzaron a comercializar leche suelta directamente al consumidor sin pasar por la industria, varios productores decidieron sumarse a la modalidad, en un contexto de precios bajos al sector primario y escasez de stock en los supermercados.

    Tal es el caso de Federico Gielis, un joven productor del partido bonaerense de General Villegas, que días atrás salió a vender leche fresca en Emilio V. Bunge a un valor de $20 por litro.

    La iniciativa fue un éxito y llegó a entregar alrededor de 120 litros por día, por lo que se trasladó a la ciudad cabecera con 500 litros y se instaló en el barrio Trocha, donde se encontró con vecinos que se acercaron a comprar en forma masiva.

    “Al productor la fábrica le paga $10 el litro, y en góndola está $60”, explicó el productor en declaraciones a una radio local.

    Pero todo se frenó cuando Bromatología tomó conocimiento de la situación y salió a prohibir la práctica. “Bajo ningún punto de vista se permitirá la venta de leche; no podemos avalar ni mirar para otro lado sabiendo lo grave de las consecuencias que puede tener para cualquier persona”, explicó Silvio Borone, titular de la cartera local.

    Lo mismo ocurrió en zonas como Tandil o la provincia de Mendoza, donde también se registraron ventas de leche directamente del tambo.

    “El Código Alimentario Argentino prohíbe la comercialización de leche cruda basado en la prevención de complejos de enfermedades o agentes infecciosos de interés para la salud pública“, explicaron desde Bromtaología en relación al Síndrome Urémico Hemolítico, tuberculosis, salmonelosis, listeriosis y otro tipo de intoxicaciones e infecciones que ponen en riesgo a grupos etarios como bebés, niños pequeños y otros adultos como mujeres embarazadas, personas inmunodeprimidas o trasplantadas.

    I have never seen it in Argentina and people whom I asked to seemed uninterested in the subject, giving me stares 'Why chasing raw milk when they have SanCor at the supermarket?". ||

    The only source of actual milk (not raw, though) and yogurt I know of is La Choza which is distributed in dieteticas (such as Zentra in Capital). There is a map of 'friendly stores' available on their website:

    https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/vie…35631350576&z=9

    The only issue is that it is bloody expensive. Last time I checked, a liter of Natural Milk was 3 USD (120 pesos)!!!
