Lactose-Free Whole Milk, Ultra-Pasteurized
What it is
This is whole milk that has undergone ultra-pasteurization, a process that heats the milk to a higher temperature for a shorter time than traditional pasteurization. It also has lactase enzyme added, which breaks down lactose, the sugar naturally found in milk, into simpler sugars. This makes it easier for individuals with lactose intolerance to digest. The milk retains its natural fat content, offering a rich and creamy taste.
How people cook with it
This milk is a versatile dairy staple suitable for drinking and cooking.
- Drinking straight from the carton
- Adding to coffee or tea
- Using in baking recipes
- Pouring over cereal
Enjoy this milk chilled as a beverage on its own, or use it in your favorite recipes. It can be substituted cup-for-cup for regular whole milk in baking, cooking, and in hot beverages like coffee and tea. Its creamy texture makes it ideal for sauces, soups, and smoothies. The ultra-pasteurization process extends its shelf life before opening compared to conventionally pasteurized milk.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular whole milk, this product is treated with lactase enzyme to remove lactose, making it digestible for those with lactose intolerance. Ultra-pasteurization also contributes to a longer shelf life before the carton is opened, while maintaining the full fat content of whole milk.
Who it is for
This milk is a good choice for households that include individuals who are lactose intolerant but still want to enjoy the taste and benefits of whole milk.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate after opening. Keep the carton upright and tightly sealed to maintain freshness. Consume within the recommended timeframe after opening, typically seven to ten days, to ensure optimal quality and taste.
