SABLE HILLS CREAMERY
ARTISANAL DAIRY MADE IN TANZANIA
Sable Hills Creamery is a family run business producing high-end artisanal cheese products at the heart of the Southern Highlands in Tanzania. The premium quality milk used in the yoghurt and cheese production comes from the fresh highland pastures of Iringa region. The pasture fed Jersey cows produce a rich, nutritious and flavourful milk that translates well into the dairy products. Jersey milk is naturally rich in beta-carotene and the green diet further enhances this as well as producing high levels of Omega 3, CLA and fat-soluable vitamins in the milk.
We currently offer a thick luxurious Greek yoghurt, a creamy Natural yoghurt and different flavoured yoghurt pots. We also produce fresh cheeses ranging from feta and halloumi. We have a strict quality control and HACCP plan in place throughout the whole process starting already at the milk collection stage.
GREEK YOGHURT
The Sable Hills Greek Yoghurt is one of the best thick yoghurts found in the country and has quickly become a real bestseller. It is sold both in 1 litre tubs and 150ml cups. This protein-rich yoghurt supports muscle growth, balances blood sugar and regulates appetite.
NATURAL YOGHURT
The smooth and creamy Natural Yoghurt is sold both in 150ml cups and 1 litre tubs. Our yoghurt contains live culture with gut-friendly bacteria, and no colorants or additives are used.
FLAVOURED YOGHURT
The 150ml yoghurts come as Greek Yoghurt and Natural Yoghurt and 3 different flavours; Miombo Honey, Zanzibar Vanilla and Highland Strawberry. These pots are perfect as a midday snack or even a healthy dessert. The honey comes from the surrounding miombo forest beekeepers and is also used as sweetener for the Vanilla flavour. The strawberry jam comes from the a neighbouring strawberry farm. No additives and sugars have been used. The vanilla yoghurt is readily mixed while strawberry and honey has the flavouring at the bottom. Dig in and enjoy!
SOFT FETA CHEESE
The Sable Hills Scandinavian type feta cheese is made from pasteurised milk using vegetarian rennet and stored in a brine solution for longer shelf life. The smooth consistency makes it perfect to add to cooking, salads or even to make a spread or dip. The salt content of the brine is high to make sure the cheese will stay fresh for several months, and the cheese can be rinsed with water or milk before use for a less saltier taste.
HALLOUMI GRILL CHEESE
The Halloumi cheese we offer is packed with flavour from the protein rich milk and is perfect to grill or fry up in a pan with some butter, oil or ghee. We use a vegetarian rennet and heat up the cheese in the end for complete pasteurisation. Halloumi is excellent to eat as a side or snack, or adding it to salads and stews. The halloumi is stored in a salted brine solution for longer shelf life.
CREAM CHEESE
The cream cheese is made using an old French recipe with both milk and thick fresh cream. Both the milk and cream are pasteurised before use. The cream cheese has a yellow hue due to high amounts of carotene in both the cream and milk which comes from grazing and makes it particularly flavourful and nutritious. The cream cheese lasts for up to 10 days from production.
RICOTTA
The ricotta is a smooth soft cheese, great to use in cooking or on a piece of bread with a relish and pinch of salt. We use the whey from cheese production to make the ricotta to make sure nothing goes to waste. Shelf life of ricotta is one week.
CREME FRAICHE
Pasteurised fresh cream from the Jersey cows is used to make the creme fraiche. The cream is ripened with a culture overnight to make this slightly tangy and flavourful product perfect for cooking.
MASCARPONE
This thick creamy dairy product is commonly used in desserts, but can also be added to soups, sauces or other dished. The pasteurised cream is heated up, tartaric acid is added and then strained for the mascarpone to take shape.
