Shatto's root-beer milk is walking away with the top prize in the Open Class category at the World Dairy Exposition in Madison, Wisconsin, for the second year in a row. This time, the root-beer milk bested 704 other entrants. And perhaps in anticipation of the 2012 exposition, Shatto has finally unveiled a flavor two years in the making: coffee milk.
Coffee milk — the official state drink of Rhode Island, with a long-standing history of being served by soda jerks in drugstores — joins Shatto's lineup of flavored milks: strawberry, chocolate, banana, root beer and orange dream. In 2010, Shatto's 2 percent, root-beer and strawberry milks were named the top three in the world at the Dairy Expo, while a year earlier, the chocolate milk from Shatto was named among the three best chocolate milks in the world.
The coffee milk debuted at the Overland Park Farmers Market this weekend and is now available in local stores (as well as at the farm store in Osborn), according to the dairy's Facebook page. Previously, it had only been available on farm tours. For those who aren't coffee drinkers, Shatto's pumpkin spice egg nog is expected to be in the market on November 1.

I don't think Mr. Shatto likes skim milk. I heard that he didn't want to produce it to begin with... so I think you'll have to accept the fat along with the sugar in the flavored milks, Andrea.
I encourage anyone who hasn't been on a Shatto tour to make the drive to Osborn. Fun for the whole family!
I love their milk, but I've never tried any of their flavored milks because I've never been able to find them in skim. Wish they would make flavored skim milk. Too much fat in the others.
Shatto has great products, total quality. I just wish they had been more professional when they stopped delivering, sometimes without eplanation, to many of the restaurants and smaller businesses/producers who had been spreading their gospel all along. Fuel costs are a huge reality, and it's way easier to deliver the majority of your product to fewer mega-grocers, but they've seriously alienated a lot of local people with the way they handled such a drastic change in their business model.
Does the coffee milk actually have caffeine or is it just coffee flavored?
"Shatto's pumpkin spice egg nog is expected to be in the market on November 1."
Fuck Yes.
Shatto milk tastes like milk did before steroids and growth hormones came along.
Nothing coming out of a plastic jug ever tasted so good.
