Description
About this raw milk source
Holtsel is a family dairy farm in Eyjafjörður, 17 km south of Akureyri, run by the fourth generation of the same family, with about 60 milking cows in a free-stall barn and a milking robot. Its raw product is colostrum (broddur), the first milk after calving, sold frozen in 500 ml and 1 litre bottles through the farm's web shop. Supply follows the calvings, so it comes and goes; check the shop or ask the farm. Orders ship with Eimskip, free on orders over 30,000 kr. The farm's ice cream shop, Holtsels Hnoss, is open in summer and also sells the farm's own beef and food from other small producers. In Iceland, colostrum is the one dairy product sold unpasteurised: it is packed, frozen straight away and kept frozen until it is sold, and is traditionally baked into ábrystir.
