Dairy farm Škrjanec

The Dairy farm Škrjanec can proudly present a centuries-old tradition. Today, four generations live on the farm. The main activities are livestock farming with 70 head of livestock and milk processing which now presents the most important source of income.

High quality milk is a basic condition for quality dairy products, so they pay a lot of attention to their animals. Cows have free access to pasture throughout the year. In 2012, they set up own dairy and started processing milk, as they found that in this way, they can increase earnings by a huge margin. They produce cheese, curd, yogurt, cream, milk, butter, whey and soft cheese.

Over the years, Dairy farm Škrjanec earned various quality certificates. Among other, they obtained a certificate for the production of hay milk, a certificate for production without GMOs, and a certificate for the selected quality of Slovenia. The products are sold on farm, in the markets, in the shopping centres and through home delivery – which worked brilliantly during the Corona-19 epidemic.

For milk processing they use several Plevnik devices: Pasteurizer P 200 EW Professional, Cheese kettle SKH 500 EW Professional, Cheese washing device PS 50 and some other complementary equipment. With these devices, they managed to produce larger quantities of dairy products. They also have less worries, as the pasteurizer and cheese kettle both have smart controller MC 500 that replaces the constant supervision of the farmer. With cheese washing device cleaning of the cheese is done much faster, easier and accurate.

Janez Škrjanec showed us how they make their delicious yogurt with Pasteurizer P 200 EW Professional and commented:

“Making yogurt is fairly simple. We set the program for yogurt and then the device itself thermally treats milk in to yogurt. In the meantime, we just add yogurt culture. The rest is done by a pasteurizer itself.“

“We are satisfied with Plevnik equipment and we have been working with them for more than a decade. The equipment is of high quality, reliable and we are satisfied with it. Plevnik is our partner when it comes to technical solutions regarding the processing of milk into different dairy products.“
