An interesting article here, from which I quote the most relevant paragraph
http://modernfarmer.com/2014/03/wate...n-dairy-scene/
-------
Most people don’t realize that soft, creamy Italian-style mozzarella di bufala (or buffalo mozzarella) is named quite literally — it’s cheese made from water buffalo milk. They also don’t realize how delicious and healthy it is. Despite the higher butterfat content, water buffalo milk is healthier in many ways traditional cow’s milk. Water buffalo milk has 11 percent higher protein than cow’s milk, as well as 9 percent more calcium and 37 percent more iron. Water buffalo milk is also lower in cholesterol.

What the article doesn't mention is that all buffalo milk is A2.
Readers, including myself, may have imagined buffalo milk is 'super niche', even more so that A2 milk as promoted by ATM. You can imagine my own surprise then, when on a leisurely stroll through the Riccarton Market on a Saturday morning, here in Christchurch, there was a stall selling and promoting locally produced buffalo milk!
You A2 shareholders may think you have the intellectual property equivalent to a global money press. But the competition could be ramping up sooner than you think!
SNOOPY
Went to grab a2 milk today, 3 countdown stores but only one stocks the milk. However, only 4 bottles left. My question is why? Is a2 not well known so so they don't stock too much or a2 is experiencing shortage of a2 milk? Any ideas people?
It's obviously produced in relatively small quantities which, if demand increases, will mean more production will switch to a2. It's not like adding another flavour to a soft drink range. It takes time and until demand is established and looks to be constant, change over to production to a2 will be slow, and in the interim it will command a higher price.
Went into Countdown Mt. Wellington on 11/3/16 and they had about 7 bottles on shelf with expire date 17/3/16 ( 6 days to go). Told them this milk is a week old! I want the fresh milk, so they went out the back and got me 3 bottles of fresh milk with the 23/3/16 expire date. I find the a2 starts going off about 2 or 3 days before expire date. Not the first time it's happened. Took the lid off one a couple of weeks back with one day to go and made them smell it. They were very sorry and said they will keep an eye on it....pass me a tuis:)
