If it's dairy, chances are we do it! As well as being the market leader in the milk and cream and the butter, spreads and margarine sectors we've a portfolio of added-value products like flavoured milk, cheese and yogurt. And we're always developing our products and ranges even further. Last year we launched over 100 new products under the retailers' own labels.
We're proud of our corporate responsibility policy and we continue to build ever-closer working relationships with Arla Foods Milk Partnership, a group of 1,600 dairy farmers who supply 85% of our total milk requirements. These suppliers meet our exceptionally high standards of milk production, farm assurance and animal welfare and in return we give them access to the liquid milk market and the premium price associated with it.
Here are just a few key facts about our best-loved brands:
- Cravendale fresh milk was launched in May 2002 and today it's a £95.5 million brand bought by one in five households across the UK. Thanks to our unique filtration process, Cravendale not only lasts longer than conventional milk, it tastes creamier too.
- Anchor block butter is the No.1 block butter brand in the UK, sold to a staggering third of all UK households at a rate of two packs every second - WOW!
- Lurpak is the number one BSM brand, sold in 75 countries and is now the number one butter, spreads and margarine brand.

Of course, none of our success would be possible without the dedication and commitment of our teams based at our nine dairies across the UK - here's a quick overview:
