The Dairy Distributors story started in 1991 when the company started producing the nation's #1 milk, Dairy Dairy Full Cream. The milky magic taste and rich nutritional content soon became T&T's favourite and Dairy Dairy became synonymous with powdered milk.
Throughout their history, Dairy Distributors has been committed to sourcing premium ingredients and utilising advanced manufacturing methods. This dedication ensures that Trinbagonians can enjoy a distinct range of world-class brands that every household can afford.
As milk consumption trends locally and globally began to evolve, Dairy Distributors decided to expand the offering to meet these needs and launched Dairy Dairy Low Fat and Skimmed.
Fast forward three decades to 2019 when the Distributors recognised a need for a value driven brand leader, which inspired the launch of Creemee Full Cream and Skimmed. This playful brand soon became highly popular with milk-loving consumers who wanted a product they could afford without sacrificing taste or quality.
In 2024, Dairy Distributors chose to launch their third brand, which combined innovation, taste and value. My Milki is a filled milk product made from skimmed milk powder and vegetable fat, which makes it extremely affordable, easy to mix and simply delicious.
In this information rich age, it means anyone can find anything with just a few clicks. It also means that there's a lot of misinformation swirling around out there, so we're here to set the record straight.
Milk contains 13 vitamins and nutrients - including protein and calcium - to build bone mass, repair muscle and support immune health, which means it might, in fact, be the ultimate superfood.
We already learned that cow's milk is a nutritional powerhouse, which means it's great for kids - once they're old enough. Before a year old, breast milk is the best choice to make sure your little one is getting all the nutrients needed.
Cow's milk and the growing category of plant based milks (like soy, oat and almond) have very different nutritional compositions. Plant based alternatives generally don't have the same levels of calcium and protein, which we need for bone and muscle strength. Cow's milk, on the other hand, is a complete protein source and generally more vitamin and nutrient rich. If it's the fat and calories that you're worried about, you can always experiment with low fat and skimmed options.
If you're looking for rehydration and recovery, milk is an excellent choice. Milk contains proteins which help rebuild muscles after exercise. Water is mostly just water so can only rehydrate, while milk contains a combination of water, carbohydrates and proteins, which is ideal for recovery after exercising.
Fat filled milk is a full cream substitute that is made by combining skimmed milk and vegetable oil. Because it contains real milk, filled milk is not suitable for people with dairy allergies or intolerances.
Did you know that humans have consumed milk from cows, sheep and goats for over 10,000 years?
Evidence, such as ancient baby bottles and milk proteins found in cavemen's dental plaque, shows dairy use across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Early farmers raised livestock, collecting milk in clay jars, which naturally cultured into curds for storage and consumption.
This nutrient-rich food supported settlements and communities, marking domesticated animals as valuable assets. Throughout history, various species, including camels, donkeys, and reindeer, have provided milk, shaping human diets and development.
