Biodynamic

Biodynamic agriculture goes a step further than organic agriculture. This includes the following: 

• Soil fertility is maintained naturally through the use of planned crop rotation, organic fertilisers and herb preparations. 
• Cattle feed is of biodynamic origin and mostly (minimum 80%) grown at the farm in question. 
• The farm business is run as an enclosed ecological system whenever possible. 
• Physical interventions on the animals (including dehorning) are not acceptable.

The following specific extra requirements apply to biodynamic dairy products: 

• milk must not be homogenised 
• only extracts, not aromas, can be added as flavourings 
• the addition of lysozyme to cheese is not acceptable.
