Clear Value Evaporated Filled Milk

What it is

This is a shelf-stable dairy product made from milk with some of the milkfat removed and replaced with vegetable oil. It has a richer, creamier texture than regular milk due to the added oil. It is typically canned and does not require refrigeration until opened. The process of evaporation concentrates the milk, giving it a slightly sweeter and more intense dairy flavor. This makes it a versatile ingredient in many dishes.

How people cook with it

Evaporated filled milk is a popular choice for adding richness and body to both sweet and savory recipes.

• Creamy sauces
• Baked goods
• Soups and stews
• Desserts

When a recipe calls for evaporated milk, you can often substitute evaporated filled milk to achieve a similar consistency and flavor. It can be used directly from the can in many applications. For baking, it can add moisture and tenderness to cakes, cookies, and pastries. In savory dishes, it can create smooth, velvety sauces or enrich the base of soups and casseroles. Its concentrated nature means a little can go a long way in enhancing the overall richness of a dish.

How it differs from similar foods

Unlike regular evaporated milk, evaporated filled milk contains vegetable oil instead of all the original milkfat. This can result in a slightly different mouthfeel and a less pronounced dairy flavor. However, for many cooking purposes, the difference is subtle and it performs similarly in terms of thickening and adding creaminess.

Who it is for

Home cooks looking to add richness to their recipes without using heavy cream.

How to keep the rest

Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer any unused evaporated filled milk to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. It should be used within a few days of opening.
