8th Continent

8th Continent is a brand of soy milk and other dairy substitute products, owned by Stremicks Heritage Foods. The brand was launched in 2002 and has since become a popular choice for those seeking dairy-free alternatives.

History

The 8th Continent brand was launched in 2002 by Stremicks Heritage Foods, a family-owned dairy company based in Santa Ana, California. The company saw a growing demand for dairy-free alternatives and decided to create a product that would cater to this market.

Products

8th Continent offers a range of soy milk products, including original, vanilla, and light versions. They also produce a complete protein soy milk, which contains all nine essential amino acids. In addition to soy milk, the brand also offers other dairy substitute products, such as soy-based creamers.

Production

8th Continent soy milk is made from whole soybeans that are grown in the United States. The soybeans are cleaned, cracked, and then soaked in water to remove the hulls. The beans are then ground into a slurry and heated to extract the soy milk. The milk is then filtered, fortified with vitamins and minerals, and packaged for sale.

Reception

8th Continent has been well received by consumers and has won several awards for its products. In 2011, the brand's Complete Protein Soy Milk was named "Best New Dairy Product" by the Dairy Foods Association.
