Milk
Bit of a crazy post but just bought some milk and it tastes sugary...This is standard Asda semi-skimmed. Do you notice differences in supermarket milks? Think will get Aldi milk next time.

You're correct in your first assessment.

It's not something I'd ever noticed when I used to drink milk.

As cows aren't bred to produce skimmed/semi-skimmed all of the milk has the fat taken off and then reintroduced in the correct proportion for the type of milk wanted. At the same time it will be analysed to give the correct values as printed on the carton - typical SS per 100ml - Fat 1.8g Saturates 1.1g Carbohydrate 4.8g Sugars 4.8g Fibre 0g Protein 3.6g Salt 0.1g The sugars mentioned aren't added but are natural. Standard supermarket milk tastes the same to me, no matter where I get it from. Though some types stay fresh for longer after opening - maybe due to longer pasteurisation? |

This is curious this milk definitely tastes different, almost as if the milk came from a diabetic cow or something.

No I notice that milk tastes different at different times and from different places. Not hugely but enough to notice.

I find it can be salty rather than sweet.
I only buy organic milk but will drink whatever outside of home |

The natural sugar that is found in milk is called lactose.
Lactation is the secretion of milk by a female, whilst the suffiix -ose is used for different types of sugar, e.g. sucrose, glucose, fructose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose |

I prefer Sainsbury's milk to some others such as Asda. Although it can be a bit cheaper elsewhere, I am happy to pay £1 for 4 pints at Sainsbury's. It is also one of few Sainsbury's items not to be more expensive at Sainsbury's Local than main stores.

We usually use tesco milk and always notice how sweet other milks are. Sainsburys always has a very different taste much less creamy.
I do like cravendale but it's quite expensive to use everyday. Last edited by molliepops : 19-11-2016 at 11:31. Reason: Typo |

I find that lacks taste, must be the filtering that does it.
