Shoprite Ultra Pasteurized Fat Free Half & Half Milk
What it is
This is a fat-free dairy product designed to offer the richness of half-and-half without the fat content. It is made from milk and cream that has undergone ultra-high temperature pasteurization, a process that extends its shelf life significantly. The fat has been removed, resulting in a lighter alternative for various culinary applications. It is a liquid product intended for immediate use after opening.
How people cook with it
This milk is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It adds a touch of creaminess without the heaviness of traditional dairy.

This fat-free half-and-half can be incorporated into recipes just like regular half-and-half. It is suitable for adding to hot beverages like coffee or tea, where it will blend smoothly. In cooking, it can be used to enrich the texture of sauces, gravies, and creamy soups. For baking, it can contribute to the moisture and tenderness of cakes, muffins, and custards. Its fat-free nature makes it a lighter choice for those mindful of fat intake.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular half-and-half, this product contains no fat. This difference means it will not contribute to the richness or mouthfeel in the same way. It is also ultra-pasteurized, which gives it a longer shelf life before opening compared to regular pasteurized dairy products.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining milk in its original container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within the recommended timeframe indicated on the packaging to ensure freshness and quality. Keep it chilled to maintain its best condition.
