anyone Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 What is the fattest milk you can find in chain stores? I need to make a cappuccino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyinBangrak Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 The 2 fresh milk brands I see in every shop are DutchMill and Meiji. The DutchMill is a thicker milk and tastes much better, but the tops never seem to close properly after you open the bottle which is annoying. The dark blue label on each brand is the fattiest/tastiest milk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's because the other milks (Dutch Mill/Foremost) are largely made from powder. (I may be wrong, it might be they're ultra pasteurised .... they both take a suspiciously long time to go off) Edited May 29, 2022 by BritManToo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dark blue label on each brand is the fattiest/tastiest milk. Dutch mill and Meiji is not fresh milk in the true sense. It is reconstituted milk powder as can be discovered when you drink for those of us brought up with fresh farm milk. Not sure if it is good for cappucino but I always found Chok Chai milk to be the creamiest to drink followed by mMilk, the latter two being real milk, pasteurised, from dairy cattle in Thailand.

Would point out Thailand only produces enough milk for 1/8 of it's consumption. That means 7/8 is imported, and nobody ships wet milk, it's all shipped as powder. I suspect ALL milk in Thailand is 'bulked out' using water and milk powder. Edited May 29, 2022 by BritManToo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratocaster Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Uses of imported milk powder from the Thai department of agriculture. 32% in the manufacture of sweetened and condensed milk. 42% in the manufacture of infant milk powder, ice cream. 26% for UHT milk, yogurt, drinking yogurt. (These products can contain between 50% and 65% raw milk). From 2012 https://www.angrin.tlri.gov.tw/meeting/2013TaiTai/2013TaiTai03.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today all the chain stores sell milk. Edited May 31, 2022 by BritManToo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAW milk in the fridge goes off after 3 days. Pasteurised milk goes off in 7-10 days in the fridge. If it's still good after 7-10 days in the fridge you can assume it's largely made from powder.
