Milk

Here in Sweden, the milk companies are planning to sell milk that are supposed to be drinkable even after four months in normal room temperature. Has anyone tried it?

When I lived in Brazil they sold milk that you stored on the shelf, no refrigeration necessary. However, once the container had been opened, you had to drink it in a few days.

 

The milk was okay. It had a different flavor to it; at least it was different than what I was used to. The "shelf"-milk was cheaper than fresh milk, but I usually paid the extra amount and bought the fresh milk.

 

However, I knew people in Brazil without refrigerators... the "shelf"-milk was great for them. (There probably aren't too many people in Sweden without refrigerators ) It is also good for food storage.

 

All in all, it's not my favorite, but it is certainly drinkable. Especially in a smoothie or with Nesquick...

The Irish government have being doing that in schools for years . . except they did it with normal milk.

When I lived in Guam that's what they mainly have. I think it tastes terrible! Hopefully you'll still be able to get fresh milk

Oh. The story doesn´t tell if this milk they are supposed to sell have to be drinken within a few days or not but it sounds resonable.

No, most people have refrigerators here, thankfully.

If they take that away from us, I move.

 

Thanks guys.

I will definately try this milk if/when it comes out on the market here.

My host family in France only bought the boxed milk. It was alot richer than the 1% or skim I was used to! I wouldn't say that I disliked it - it was just different and took some getting used to. I wouldn't mind having it now and then as it made awesome hot chocolate and sauces. Whole milk here just isn't the same.

 

It had a very long shelf life until it was opened.

We had something like that when I was stationed in the Philippines. It would do if there was nothing else, but I wouldn't want to make a daily deal of it. It did have a rich%2
