Sustainability

We waste almost no cow's milk in our courses since we discovered the Canadian milk substitute "BCB." Fresh, local whole milk is always available for your first milk creations. ;-) Vegan alternatives are also available, of course. If you've already found a tasty vegan alternative, feel free to bring a liter to practice with.
