Why was Provilac established?

Accepted Answer

It was the year 2013 when Siddhart Runwal (Founder of Provilac Dairy Farms) came back to India after completing his post-graduate degree in biochemical & dairy from New Zealand. At his home in Pune, he noticed the rampant use of antibiotics and hormone injections in the Indian dairy industry. Also, milk loses its integrity when larger dairy companies decide to add milk powder to standardize milk. Adding to this, the fragmented supply chain when milk changes hand at least 10 times before it reaches the consumer and requires 48-72 hours before it reaches the consumer, in unsuitable temperature & conditions. It was then that Provilac was established to overcome the above pain points. Provilac ensures that every drop of milk, which reaches the consumer, is free from toxins, adulterants 7 chemical injections.

Question 10

How does Provilac process milk?

Accepted Answer

As soon as the cows are milked, the milk passes through a set of filters and is then chilled down inline to 4 degrees centigrade in the raw milk tank. Once the tank is filled, the milk travels through a pasteurizer where it is heated to 74 deg C for 15 sec and immediately cooled down in the pasteurized milk tank. Within no time, the milk enters into final packaging where it's stored in cold rooms where it waits for dispatch.

Question 11

Milking at the farm starts at 6.00 AM. By 11.00 AM the milk gets processed and packed. It reaches the cold rooms at city depots in refrigerated vehicles by 10.00 PM. At 4.00 AM the next day morning - the milk is carried by our delivery executives in their insulated bags for your doorstep delivery. The entire milk journey from farm to your doorsteps is thus completed in less than 18 hours.

Question 14

Does Provilac standardise its milk?

Accepted Answer

Milk composition varies from day-to-day and season to season which results in thick and thin milk at the farm. Large dairy companies either add milk powder or separate cream to make milk to keep standard thickness throughout the year. But at Provilac, we believe milk is a gift of nature and it has to be consumed in the way nature intended it to be. To keep the integrity of milk intact, Provilac does not standardize its milk.

A separate batch of milk is used for skimming fresh cream at the farm. This cream is fermented for 24 hours using bacterial culture. The cultured cream is then churned to give white butter (loni). The Loni further is heated to 107 degrees centigrade to remove moisture contents until it turns into a golden brown liquid. Thereafter we gradually bring down the temperature of the ghee to ensure a consistent grainy texture of ghee.
