Capra-Cino

This article is by the same lady who wrote yesterday's article. I am posting this as I run out the door with two sisters to go help get fair grounds cleaned up for our local show, but more on that later. :D

Look out Starbucks, here comes Swede Farm Dairy Capri-Cino


A few weeks ago at the Bayou City Farmers Market, my family picked up a new, but delightfully healthy vice in the form of chocolate goat's milk from Swede Farm Dairy. The dark chocolate, not too sweet blend of goat's milk has become the drink of choice and new dessert around our house. So, while picking up my family's weekly supply of chocolate goat's milk, I was delighted to try a sample of the Swede Farm Dairy's newest creation, goat's milk "Capri-Cino."

LeeAnne Carlson, owner of Swede Farm Dairy, compares the Capri-Cino to the taste of the bottled Starbucks cappuccino drink. She's right in that it tastes similar, but her goat's milk version is so much better. Like in the formulation of their chocolate goat's milk, the Dairy has managed to create a flavored drink that is rich in flavor without being too sweet. The Capri-Cino has a pervasive coffee flavor, similar to the flavor of coffee ice cream but without the heaviness that ice cream and commercial cappuccino drinks carry. An added bonus to the goat's milk version is the very simple ingredient list of goat's milk, coffee extract and agave nectar. Stop by the table of Swede Farm Dairy to sample a taste of their new drink along with the other varieties of goat's milk, yogurt and kefir they produce.
