Our promise at Nava Durga Dairy and Kirana Suppliers is simple: to provide the freshest, highest-quality dairy products to our community. This promise isn't just a slogan; it's a practice, a meticulous process that begins long before the sun rises over the hills of the Kathmandu Valley. The journey of our milk is a testament to our commitment to transparency, quality, and community.
The Source: Happy Cows, Healthy Milk
It all starts on the lush, green pastures of our partner farms in districts like Kavre and Nuwakot, whom you can meet here. Here, our farmers practice responsible animal husbandry. The cows and buffaloes are grass-fed and enjoy open spaces, which not only leads to a better quality of life for the animals but also results in more nutritious and flavorful milk. A stress-free environment is crucial, as it directly impacts the milk's quality.
The Milking and Cooling Process
Milking is done in hygienic conditions every morning. The fresh, warm milk is immediately filtered and transferred to sterilized, refrigerated chilling vats. This rapid cooling is one of the most critical steps in preserving freshness and preventing bacterial growth. Within hours, our dedicated vehicles collect the chilled milk from these local collection points for its short journey to our dairy in Sifal.
Quality Control: Our Unwavering Standard
Upon arrival at Nava Durga Dairy, the milk doesn't just go into production. It undergoes a series of rigorous quality checks. We test for:
- Fat and SNF (Solids-Not-Fat) Content: To ensure it meets our standards for richness and nutritional value for products like Ghee and Paneer.
- Purity: We check for any presence of adulterants or antibiotics, ensuring you get nothing but 100% pure milk.
- Temperature and Acidity: To confirm it has been handled correctly throughout its journey.
Only the milk that passes every single one of these tests is cleared for the next stage: pasteurization.
Pasteurization and Packaging
We use a carefully controlled pasteurization process (High-Temperature Short-Time) that effectively eliminates any harmful bacteria while preserving the milk's natural flavor and most of its nutritional profile. After pasteurization, the milk is immediately packaged into our clean, safe containers and pouches, ready for you.
From the farm to your fridge, the entire journey often takes less than 24 hours. This efficient, local-first approach is how we guarantee the fresh, wholesome taste you've come to love. It's a journey of care, quality, and a deep-rooted connection to our community.
