Holle Cow

Holle organic cow milk formula — Demeter biodynamic milk in PRE through Stage 4, in both the German and Dutch versions. Demeter is a stricter standard than EU organic: no synthetic inputs, closed-loop farms, and cows that keep their horns.

PRE and Stage 1 are suitable from birth, Stage 2 from six months, Stage 3 from ten and Stage 4 is a growing-up milk from twelve. The German tins are 400g and 600g; the Dutch tins are 800g, which works out cheaper per ounce for a baby on formula full time.

What parents notice about Holle is the ingredient list: lactose rather than maltodextrin or corn syrup solids, no added sugar, and nothing artificial. Several tins are starch-free. For the goat range see Holle goat milk formula, or browse everything Holle makes, including porridges and pouches.
