I was in the middle of making dinner when this happened. I'm grateful I poured it into a measuring cup first. Thankfully I don't live too far from another source.
I remember milk staying good almost a week past its expiration date when I was a kid. Boy have the times changed.
I know these solutions cost more but if you're having trouble with frequent spoilage this might save you $$
For cow milk, try and buy organic in a container that blocks light. I find these to have extra long expiration dates compared to plastic jug regular milk... Often 2-3 months from purchase and it is often unspoiled past that.
Try unsweetened original almond milk. I find it hard to tell the difference and the almond milk I buy can last 4-5 months in my fridge if I don't use it sooner.
I’m not sure why but for me it seems like milk goes bad faster if you open and use it but then leave it unused for many days even if it's before the expiration date.
Milk alternatives seem to have a longer shelf life.
Time to go to the farm shop and get a bottle from the vending machine!
There one I’m working at is soon to switch to delivering their own milk, rather than t g Lee. I’m expecting this is happen more in our area going forward. Their dc is further away and the turnaround time on processing will be longer.
Don't you have ultra high heated milk? It keeps fresh for several months at room temperature as long as it's unopened. It usually tastes a little less great than normal milk but that's especially not much of an issue if you use it for baking or cereals.
I'm baffled that America insists on selling milk by the gallon. That's so much milk to finish after opening.
The maximum size we used to get while I was growing up where I live was 1 litre. Then came the big milk, 1.5 L. Now we have this even bigger one that's 1.75 L, I think. Seems like it's going to converge on 2 L. 😄
Dairy is heavily subsidized in the US. 1 gallon (3.8L) barely costs more than 1/2. Might as well buy the whole gallon and turn what you aren't going to otherwise use into yogurt or cheese.
I somehow doubt you can do much with pasteurized and homogenized 1% milk.
There's a reason that most dairy products in Europe are made from raw milk.
Yogurt is super easy to make with any (dairy) milk.
There are some cheeses that are better with unpasteurized milk, but it still works with pasteurized milk. I think most cheeses made with unpasteurized milk are just done that way because the pasteurization is an unnecessary step. Cheeses that are aged long enough have the pathogens die off. In the US, that threshold is 60 days. In the EU, tradition is deemed more important than safety, so there is no waiting period. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12146498/#fsn370409-bib-0006
Homogenization is a challenge for curd formation with some cheeses, but you can counteract it with some extra calcium chloride.
It's common to add cream to milk to boost the fat content for some cheeses.
You wouldn't make rennet-based cheeses of the leftovers from a jug of milk, though, cause that's not enough bang for your buck. I just make what's essentially like a ricotta. All you have to do is heat it up, and add a little bit of distilled vinegar or lemon juice which cuddles it, and then you strain it through cheesecloth.
I can go through a whole gallon by myself before it goes bad. Now, I might just barely be able to do it most times, but still. Between cooking, drinking, and cereal, I can usually find a way to use it all. I mostly drink it though.
