Aseptic milk?

[taiwan_girl]

For a long time, at least overseas, there is UHT milk, which is sold on the shelf and lasts a long time.

It has been around since I was a kid, but for me, the taste is a bit different from "regular" milk.

QUOTE
Ultra-high temperature, or UHT, milk is ultra-pasteurized milk that comes in sterilized containers.

It’s real milk, just like the kind you buy chilled in the dairy aisle, but its special pasteurization and packaging process gives it a shelf life of several months.

Another possibility is Fairlife Milk. I had this before in the US, and noticed that the Due Date was three months or so rather than a couple of weeks. I thought the taste was quite good.

Aseptic simply means free from bacteria. The American Dairy Association explains that an advantage of this new ultra-high temperature pasteurization process is that the product needs no refrigeration as long as it remains sealed. The high temps kill off all bacteria in the milk and the product gets an air-tight seal immediately, meaning it won't spoil (via the American Dairy Association).

This is just UHT pasteurization which has been available here for over a decade, and is the dominant form of milk in much of the world,

I often keep a container in the pantry in case I run out of my usual milk. The date is usually 6 months out or so when I buy it.

How's the price compared to regular?

In a lot of places overseas, it is cheaper than "regular" milk. I think because in the small stores in villages, it costs money to run the refrigerators, so something they can keep on the shelf is cheaper.

For Fairlife Milk in the US, if I remember, it is about maybe double price of regular milk.

This stuff?

That's way more expensive even than regular organic milk.

Buck and a half for 8 ounces.

We always used to take this with us when we went camping. It doesn't taste quite the same as regular milk. It starts off tasting a little worse, but after being kept for a week in a tent, tastes a lot better than regular milk would.

In the UK it costs about the same as regular milk if I remember correctly - they call it long-life milk.
