On the organic farm Novalishoeve, Texel dairy products, among other things, are made. A herd of cows is walking around in the meadows around the yard, delivering liters of fresh whole milk every day!
You can buy the milk in glass bottles, but it is also processed into delicious dairy products. Yogurt, quark, buttermilk and cheese are made from the milk. Forest fruits or a hint of sea buckthorn complete the yogurt.
They also make fresh ice cream and sorbet at Novalishoeve. The ice season parallels the period in which the cows are outside. The ice makers are at work from April to October. All ingredients used are organic. In particular, our own products are used for the ice cream: milk, cream, yogurt, quark, fruit and herbs.
The dairy products are processed at Novalishoeve itself and sold in the shop in the yard. They supply their products to supermarkets such as the Jumbo in De Koog, Spar Goënga in Den Hoorn and EkoPlaza in Den Burg.
The products are also processed or sold at Texel catering establishments such as beach pavilion Paal 9, Landal Greenpark, Hotel Opduin and Greenside, Maartenhuis, Prins Hendrik Hotel and Hotel Molenbos.
