Dairy Farmers Original
26 reviews
Worst tasting milk I have ever had. Very very bitter. I made an iced coffee and it is the grossest iced coffee ever. Checked the milk and it is definitely the milk which smells how it tastes, horrible. Very bitter and chemical like. Pauls milk is 10,000 times better than this garbage. Show details
Chemical tasting milk – I never ever write a review but I brought dairy farmers for the first time in awhile I tasted a chemical taste and it happened last time aswell so i checked reviews and seen similar reviews and I am stating to wonder are the poisoning us. Like I could still taste it even after my cereal which was Milo brand and that didn’t even cover it up no way never again. How crazy is this let’s rally people. China brought our Aussie milk now look Show details
Fix the lids on your 2L milk bottles – The lids on your 2L milk bottles are now terrible. The lids have been loose on the last 3 bottles bought, seeping milk. I won't drink the milk because I don't know when the lid came loose. I've thrown out 3 full bottles. FIX THE PROBLEM.
Watery and flavourless. Doesn’t take like cream any more – The last purchase of l”pure cream” I make the cream was very watery and had zero flavour. What has happened. This product is definitely NOT pure cream. Pure cream is thick and tastes amazing. Show details
Bad.Has become tasteless and watery – Rubbish.What has happened to dairy farmers in the last few months.It has become watery.will not froth and is tasteless.I once rated it the best. Not now. Show details
Not a fan of the taste – I really don't like the taste of Dairy Farmers milk, it has a very obvious different taste to many other milks on the market. I will avoid this milk at all costs. Such a shame! Show details
So upsetting. 'they' are destroying our food. Who knows what is in it – I am from Perth. I buy cream a lot in Perth (Brownes or Masters) When I bought Dairy Farmer's cream in Victoria it did not whip up the same and it tastes fake, like thickened cream and it is sickening. What is happening. I know the company has been bought by China. 'They' are destroying more and more of our food. So upsetting. Will have to stop buying from the supermarket.
Horrible – I posted a review of this product a few years ago, and my review stated that this milk has a horrible, chemical/metallic-like taste to it. I've avoided it since I posted my first review, but my wife accidentally bought a 2L bottle of it yesterday so I thought I'd give it another chance. But no, it STILL has the same disgusting taste that ruins anything you put it in, be it cereal, coffee or shakes. Nothing can disguise the foul flavor of it. Show details
Dairy farmers milk is rubbish – Their milk always goes bad quickly days before the use by day, sometimes right after I open the bottle (and yes, I do refrigerate). My work place purchases dairy farmers for employees, and my tea/coffee at work always tasted bad, I didn't know why until I had to buy a dairy farmers bottle for home (I usually buy Woolies/Coles as they are cheaper),… Read more
the bottle tasted bad the day I opened it, even though it was a week to the use by date. I'm sticking with Woolies/Coles brand, the stuff tastes wonderful and will regularly last a week or 2 passed the use by date with no issue.
Leaking Lids – The bottles of this product always leak before opening .I want to stop buying because of this as theyve leaked in shopping bag, car and fridge. No seals on bottles. Unfortunately not many brands in Australia do a skim milk so im stuck buying this product...Sort it. Show details
MILKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK – Personaly i think the milk is amazing and if you think it tatstes weird after the first day I suggest putting it in the fridge. And if it makes you feel sick, this is just a thought maybe your lactose intolerant. Show details
Funny taste one day after purchase with 12 days left till use by date – The milk was okay on the first day, then it began to get an odd smell and taste, like it had gone off. I keep thinking it’s propped up with powdered milk, as that is a little what it tastes like. Plus, it doesn’t have the expected creaminess that full cream milk usually has. Very off putting smell and taste, cannot drink. Show details
Upsets my stomach – I have asked my doctor why some milk makes my feel sick after drinking it and others don't. She explain it had something to do with the way different companies make it and the cows it comes from. Something to do with Casein protein, which I din't really understand. Our local cafe where I have always bought coffee changed to dairy farmers milk and… Read more
I started feeling sick. I enquired if they had changed their coffee and was told no, the milk, that is when I started investigating. So I can't drink Dairy Farmers or Pauls milk, but I can have A2 or our local made milk Cooloola Milk.

Confused – Why is my local IGA 30c cheaper than Woolworths for dairy farmers 1lt lite ????? You would think Woolworths would have more buying power therefore being able to make it cheaper than most. Show details
Awful – Milk I used to buy in Woolworths often tastes awful and sour.. very worst. Never expected this worse. Happened 3 times in 2 months. Very disappointed.
Metallic taste – 50% of the time I buy it, it has a strong metallic taste to it. Other times, it is fine.
Tastes bad – Had 2 bottles in the fridge, one expiring tomorrow 8/9/17 and one on the 15/9/17. Both taste the same, I am a little sick but it doesn't taste like milk. Wondered if it was a batch issue but nope both watery and gross which it shouldn't being regular and not low fat, others seem to be off put by it as well Dairy farmers used to be good honks ago
fake A2 claim – the milk claim naturally contain A2 protein on the label. However, It still make me stomachache as it is not A1 free. the label is totally misleading. If you have no such problem, this milk maybe fine. But I don't think it is a trustworthy company after this. it is really disgusting that you pretend and claim you can solve some problem when you cannot.
What has gone wrong – Like others here, dairy farmers milk has something bad going on, it can taste awful, and it seems to depend on when you get it, sometimes it's ok others it undrinkable. I contacted dairy farmers about it and they tell me it is the lights in the shops that can affect it, so I started sifting through the shelves to get the ones not exposed to the… Read more
light, but still the same.
It seems to be batches in the same date range, also some cheaper milks also can have the bad taste but I have recently found out they also are done in the dairy farmers factory (dairy choice)
I have now changed brands and don't have any issues
Clean Dairy! – This is an organic milk quality that in my opinion, is the best you can get in Australia. I grew up in a family that promoted drinking milk. PROS: •This may be just me, but I find it easier to digest and it doesn’t cause adverse affects on my stomach, which other brands do. •Pure Organic – which means no added chemicals or other… Read more
preservatives that you see in other brands. Once opened it still lasts me a week in the fridge.
CONS:
•Clumping – but that’s only due to the homogenization process so no big deal for me. It might put some people off, but this is what happens to real milk without chemicals.
I’m sticking with this brand, because I cant find anything better. When I like something, I stick to it.
pimples. try pauls milk instead – I've had this milk and a lot of others too and it gives me pimples. But I try Pauls milk now and get no pimples. Must be these companies adding extra hormones to the cows. I think I'll stick to Pauls milk thanks.
Gives me acne – Every time I drink these milk, I get huge acne flare up all over my face and also gives me lots of phlegm in my throat, bad breath and constipation. I didn't make any associations at first regarding my symptoms with the milk until I tried a week of soymilk. All of the above mentioned symptoms disappeared. Better stick to soy milk which I think is… Read more
healthier for the body since I my face cleared up significantly along with all the other symptoms.
Causes acne developments, phlegms in throat, bad breaths and constipation.

Terrible taste – It taste chemical on the permeate free 3 liters. horrible taste. But it doesn't happen on all packages probably some problem on production line. Same chemical taste as smell from other cheaper brands, it. Seems there is some liquid they add to the milk to preserve and ends up being terrible experience in morning breakfast.
Excellent – i think this is a perfect tasting milk, its nutritious although has a higher sugar content than other milks. This milk is getting expensive. great fresh taste, lovely and creamy. Nutritious, still has low fat. stays fresh for a long time slightly high in sugar. expensive compared to other milks
OK – Dairy Farmers Whole Milk is one of the most well known brands of full cream dairy milk in the supermarket. It comes in attractive packaging and its taste is what you would expect from full cream milk. However, there are many other brands of full cream milk available in the supermarket that provide the same taste and nutritional content as Dairy… Read more
Farmers milk but at a significantly cheaper price. It is difficult to justify paying more for an everyday item such as milk when the quality is not better than generic brands. Tastes good, Attractive packaging. Expensive when compared to otherfull cream milk brands
Bad – this milk taste awaeful. leaves an aweful after taste in your mouth. Can only taste good with flavouring. It use to taste good back more than 10 years ago now I have trouble drinking it. For the poeple that is picky with milk they know what i'm talking about. I feel I need to write this review because i feel cheated over the years. their "full… Read more
cream" milk as expose by current affairs was diluted. But i do remeber a time when it taste good. I thought it was my problem for not being able to stomach their milk but nope. its their milk. I'm now buying a milk that is not diluted and it brings back the memory of me drinking dairy farmers more than 10 years ago.
taste, price
