Whole milk is a fundamental ingredient in countless recipes. It can be enjoyed chilled as a refreshing beverage on its own. It is excellent for pouring over breakfast cereals, providing a smooth and satisfying addition to your morning meal.

For hot beverages like coffee or tea, it offers a fuller flavor profile than lighter milk options.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep refrigerated at temperatures between 34°F and 40°F (1°C and 4°C). Ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent the absorption of odors. Consume within the recommended timeframe after opening for optimal quality. Do not freeze opened milk, as this can alter its texture.
