WHY CALIFORNIA DAIRY

What makes California the nation’s dairy leader? The Golden State leads the country in fluid milk, butter, ice cream, and nonfat dry milk production, and ranks second in cheese and yogurt production. But these facts alone don’t tell the full story…

The Real California Milk seal is a symbol that resonates with customers who are interested in where their food is sourced. Foodservice operators and chefs nationwide can trust in Real California dairy products because of the state’s commitment to sustainably sourcing real milk from family dairy farms that helps produce premium foodservice ingredients.

CA is home to 1000+ family dairy farms
