Dutch Lady Full Cream Milk (UHT)

Yup, it is yet another UHT milk review thingy. Well, this is not really a review, more like a showcase of what I had purchased for myself. I am planning to use the Dutch Lady UHT Fresh Milk to make either yogurt or Yakult. Yes, you can make Yakult from milk and a Yakult starter which consist of Yakult. Just like ALL fermented milk products, you just add a little of the previous batch into milk and it let ferment for a few hours or for a few days depending on what you are planning to culture. It is easy but I guess a lot of people are just put off by the fact that it is a fermented product and it is homemade. Truthfully, if I am not into cultured milk products, I would have to agree with them that it would take a lot of guts to try one of these homemade cultured products. But after reading on the Internet, I found that it is actually pretty safe. Unless the utensils for fermenting the milk is unhygienic or the fermenting temperature wrong, you will find that the result will almost always be a success.

Anyway, let’s not get into fermenting the milk first. It is better to concentrate on the milk itself. Without milk, all sorts of Yakult or Vitagen or Yogurt cannot be made since these are usually made from lactic bacteria. Yes, milk contains lactose which these lactic bacteria eats and reproduce themselves. And from what I heard, the final taste of the cultured milk will also depend on the quality of the milk.

Cheap no? 2 packs of 1 litre Dutch Lady UHT Fresh Milk costs about S$3.30.  I got this on offer so don’t expect the price to be so low everyday.

Ya, UHT Fresh Milk. And even better, the milk is imported from Australia. No, not Holland, they don’t have cows there anymore. They may have coffee shops that sells weed and drugs but definitely no cows left. And since it is from Australia, it gives you a peace of mind that you are not drinking Melamine contaminated milk. Don’t you just hate greedy people trying to make a buck off something that people drink? Oh, the expiry date of this milk is 6th July 2009! That is one long lasting milk.

Another view of the Dutch Lady UHT Fresh Milk.  The green Milk looks oddly delicious……for Aliens!

Yes, Australia all the way. Moo!  Friesland Foods is a Holland based company.

Okay, check out the opening instructions. First you unscrew the cap, the pull the ring-pull and tear off the pull-tab and pour. Hope that it is not too difficult. And just look at the ingredients they have in the milk – well, it is just milk although it has been Ultra Heat Treated to make it able to last a long long time.

Anyway, do you guys remember the logo of Dutch Lady? It used to be a Dutch girl with a windmill in the background. Now it seemed that Holland is no longer famous for it’s windmills and beautiful dutch females and thus they changed it to the new logo you see above. Boring.
