Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


What is non-homogenization?

Homogenization breaks up the fat globules of milk into very fine particles so that the particles are uniformly sized. Since Hansen’s milk is non-homogenized, that means that the cream rises to the top. It should be shaken before being served. Unlike pasteurization (heating the milk to kill bacteria), homogenization is not required to sell milk. We choose not to homogenize in order to keep the milk in its most natural state.


Why do we have wallabies?

In 2001, Blake Hansen visited Australia and liked the wallabies he saw there. Back in the U.S., he found a breeder online and acquired three New Zealand wallabies. This was around the same time that the Hansen family decided to start their own creamery. We thought it would make a unique, kid-friendly logo.
