Genuinely surprised. One of the things I hate about living in the US is the terrible milk. I have a hard time drinking it. I don’t know what they do to it here but it comes with a gross, almost off aftertaste. (It also seems to have a surprisingly long shelf life.) New Zealand milk is amazing by comparison. It’s one of the things I love about going home. :-)
- abawany 9y agoIf available to you, I can recommend trying the following brands: * http://www.kalonasupernatural.com/ http://www.kalonasupernatural.com/ - non-homogenized, available at Natural Grocers * http://www.promisedlanddairy.com/our-story/ http://www.promisedlanddairy.com/our-story/ - seems to be from Jersey cows, if the color of the milk is any indication Another thing to watch out for if you are buying Horizon Organic is the UHT (ultra high temperature) processing it and some other brands use. It makes the milk shelf-stable (i.e. a sealed container needs no refrigeration) but adds a burnt taste that can be offputting.
- Moru 9y agoThis is very common in Germany, it has some similar taste as the aromas they use for margarine to taste creamy. It's really horrible, I have never managed more than a sip of milk in Germany. Shelf life is three months, room temperature. If you want fresh milk you can find it in some bigger supermarkets but only a few bottles and I seldom seen anyone buy it.
