What it is
This is a sweetened, concentrated milk product. It is made from a blend of milk solids, sugar, and vegetable oil. The process of concentrating the milk removes much of the water, resulting in a thick, syrupy liquid. The added sugar preserves the product and gives it a distinct sweetness. It is a common ingredient in many desserts and baked goods, providing richness and flavor.
