You should throw away milk 3 days after opening it

BitterAndTwisted

Homogenising milk doesn't take the cream out of it, the process just ensures that the cream won't rise to the top. I do remember the gold-top Channel Islands milk my mum used to have delivered and also remember quite well ensuring I was downstairs first in the morning to bring it in off the doorstep so I could have all that creamy goodness on my cereal all to myself.

I buy milk in great big 6-pint cartons so it's been opened for much longer than three days by the time I finish it and it's never, ever been on the turn. Not even close. I think the OP is worrying about something that's really not important

And the supermarkets do...or at least the suppliers of the supermarkets do.

He will not I promise you. He has not worked for any UK Milk Board for 10 years or so as they have ceased to exist since then. I know, as I worked for them before deregulation, during deregulation and until deregulation was completed and beyond.

So it's not the supermarkets now..can we agree on that?!

Since Margaret Thatcher abolished the Milk Marketing Board, can you please give a link to the milk board your friend has just retired from?

Cravendale milk is lovely, lasts forever. 3 Days...... total madness :rolleyes:

BitterAndTwisted..I've know idea if you are!...but you are 100% right about homogenisation!

There is always one who is a nit picking freak.

I could tell you in great detail what happens, but it's not worth the effort, Christ, skip a step or too for simplicity and one goes to hell.
I could counter your comments, but again what is the point!

Irrelevant, and boring and pathetic.

and homogenisation means the same. From "homo" it's the same stuff throughout...there is no cream to rise to the top, it's processed crap.

BitterAndTwisted

One person's nit-picking freak is another person's stating the bald facts in a discussion

Was it really Maggie..I feel so old!. My problem with Cravendale is the ultra filtration process used does affect the flavour...not markedly like UHT treated milk, but nevertheless I notice the difference.

I think it's the "difference" I like It just tastes very " clean" to me. We usually have semi-skimmed but can even take whole milk in Cravendale. In other milk brands whole milk tastes too greasy Just what you get used to I suppose.
And no, you're not old, just "maturing nicely" or at least that's what I insist :rotfl:

It's not nit picking when you are so fundementally wrong in what you state.

You can tell me nothing I do not already know as I have actually worked in the Dairy Industry for 20 years..so you are correct, it's not worth the effort.

Christ, skip a step or too for simplicity and one goes to hell.
You didn't skip a step or two...you skipped whole staircases.

I could counter your comments, but again what is the point!
Go on please do so...back up what you've said.

Maybe but my posts are totally factual...your posts are not so.

Again you are wrong...ALL of the cream is still there and some of it does rise, just not as much as would have had it not been homogenised.

You really don't what you are talking about, do you?

Thank goodness you're still here gordikin You wouldn't believe the number of times I've tried to put this across in the past :rolleyes::rolleyes: So many people think it's been removed rather than redistributed
