The science of yogurt
Last week, Samantha Bull and I decamped to Weston Super Mare on the Somerset coast to visit Food Works SW, a centre with food business units and development kitchens, and to listen to eight presentations on yogurt and fermented creams at the SDT Spring Conference.
Trending in 2024
The Global Dairy Platform, as part of the Pathways to Dairy Net Zero, will offer on 17 January the first quarterly webinar of 2024, which will focus on the potential of animal nutrition to lower dairy’s environmental footprint.
Your vote counts
The year 2024 promises to be quite an election year, with many countries off to the ballot box. I hope the voters choose politicians who will do the longer-term thinking that is required now, both for their countries and for the planet.
A trip to Cork and the digital future
We travelled to Cork, Ireland, for the Society of Dairy Technology’s 80th Anniversary Conference, which was held at University College Cork on its campus. I for one am excited and looking forward to continuing our work with the Society in 2024, which will involve the International Cheese & Dairy Expo.
Heading up north
I can’t help thinking that what people are now looking for on the main street of cities and towns, is specialism. This is where the cheesemonger and the butcher can take aim at the consumer wallet.
Ageing well
Dairy UK’s Stronger for Longer event last year, examined the research done in using dairy to slow bone loss, preserve muscle mass and add nutrition to the diet of the older folks among us.
Getting together
No matter what happens, dairy keeps going to provide nutrition and drive innovation in the sector in so many areas. We pull together and make things work, while making dairy a sustainable, low-carbon, empowering segment of the larger food industry.
A niche business
Plant-based cheese are a niche market now, and industry experts think it will continue to be one in the future.
See you in 2024 at Dairy Industries Expo
It was gratifying to hold the only exhibition and seminars exclusively devoted to the dairy process in the UK, and to have people arrive and take away something useful.
Welcome to the Expo!
This week, our inaugural, free to attend, Dairy Industries Expo begins in Harrogate, UK. It will be on Wednesday and Thursday this week, 4-5 October, and promises to be a collection of exciting equipment and services, dairy making discussions and all manners of processing patter for the attendees.

One week to go
It is just over a week until the doors open at the Dairy Industries Expo in Harrogate and to say we’re excited about the exhibition and seminars is an understatement.

Moving forward with British dairy
The great and the good were out at Raffles London at the OWO, which welcomed the industry as the first event at the hotel. Suzanne Christiansen reports
The joy of dairy
The Dairy UK Annual Dinner was a highlight of my week last week. It highlighted the good work Dairy UK has been doing throughout the year, from the Dairy Roadmap to standardising carbon footprint tools throughout the industry, to raw milk contracts.
Getting in on the AGM at the Expo
There is more than one good reason to attend the inaugural Dairy Industries Expo in Harrogate on 4-5 October: the Society of Dairy Technology’s 80th annual general meeting is also being held there.
