Organic Valley
Even though Fairlife and Lactaid have a wide range of lactose-free milk options and offer fresh milk from farms, they are not organic. If having an organic milk choice is important to you, you should consider looking for Organic Valley (or Horizon, which will be discussed later in this article).
Organic Valley exclusively produces all its milk and other dairy products from cows raised on pastures. As a result, they are acknowledged for having products that are naturally more nutrient-rich compared to some other brands.
However, while Organic Valley does offer lactose-free milk, it is not their main focus. Therefore, they only provide one option for lactose-free milk. Organic Valley's lactose-free whole milk is sourced from the same cows raised on pastures. This means it is free from antibiotics, synthetic hormones, and toxic pesticides, and is non-GMO. Furthermore, it retains all the beneficial vitamins present in this nutrient-dense milk.
The only distinction between lactose-free milk and regular Organic Valley whole milk is that the lactose-free variant undergoes natural processing with a lactase enzyme to eliminate lactose. Consequently, in terms of taste, this brand also maintains the rich, creamy flavor and texture of genuine cow's milk. Since you won't be able to discern the difference in taste between lactose-free and regular whole milk, ensure you choose the correct carton when shopping at the grocery store. Organic Valley is a popular milk brand available in most grocery stores nationwide.
