Oak Leaf is an ambitious joint venture between County Milk Products and Knolton Farmhouse Cheese. Established in 2016, Oak Leaf is a state-of-the-art processing facility that enhances our capabilities to produce the highest quality Whey products.
The plant, based at Overton near Wrexham, is capable of large-scale crystallising and multi-stage spray drying. Designed to the highest specification and with the latest technology available, Oak Leaf is capable of producing non-hygroscopic, free flowing, whey powders – specialising in Whey Permeate powder.
