lasts longer

All UHP/UHT (ultra high pasteurized/temperature) milk does. However, once you open it, you're still on a timer, because you just let bacteria in.

UHT milk should be refrigerated and consumed within 7 to 10 days

My son does 90% of the milk drinking in our house and he works away now. So lately I've been buying Fairlife in the 1/2 gallon so it doesnt go to waste. I really like it.

But doesn't it only last longer prior to opening? Once its opened it says like use within 14 days or something?

I've seen it on the shelves, but I thought it would taste like every other non-dairy "milk" I've had so I never tried it. If it's as good as you all say maybe I'll get to finally enjoy Cinnamon Toast Crunch again

The Fairlife chocolate milk is not that good compared to other brands imo. It just taste a little off. The Horizon organic whole milk taste the best and last a lot longer than Fairlife

But it’s actual milk. It’s not non-dairy.

It’s probably not the better tasting between the two, but it has nearly twice the grams of protein per calorie as Horizon and nearly hits the 1g protein per 10 calories ratio that is what a lot of people aim for these days when looking at food labels.

Isn't it just processed like they process milk in Europe?

That means you can store it a long time, and you do not have to refrigerate it until you open it.

I might go through a quart in a month. I doubt that quantity is gonna affect my health one way or another.


I won't use it for my scratch biscuits, it doesn't bake well. Other than that, it's pretty great.

It is just higher temp pasteurization. Your "normal" milk is lower temp pasteurized comparatively.

The only milk I'll really drink is Feliciana's Best Creamery Cream Line. Haven't found anything near as good.

Once again: I don't think people brag on Fairlife so much for the taste (I don't think it's any better/worse than other milk, but I don't really like milk) but because of the nutritional content. It's really high protein compared to other milk (which also makes me think there's something strange going on with the processing of it). Since there's currently a huge shift to high-protein diets in American culture, Fairlife is all the rage.

I had to look up why it's higher in protein. According to the AI machine:
quote:


Fairlife milk is higher in protein (usually 50% more) because it uses a patented ultra-filtration process that breaks down real cow's milk into its components to concentrate protein and calcium while filtering out most sugar. This method results in a naturally higher protein concentration (80% casein/20% whey) without adding protein powders.

Fairlife
+2
Why Fairlife Has More Protein:
Ultra-Filtration Process: The milk is flowed through special filters that concentrate the protein and remove much of the sugar (lactose) and water.
Natural Concentration: Instead of adding protein powder, Fairlife removes the water and lactose, leaving behind a higher concentration of the protein naturally found in milk.
Nutritional Breakdown: This process typically yields 13 grams of protein and 50% less sugar per serving compared to 8 grams in regular milk.
No Additives: The higher protein content is achieved solely through physical filtration rather than chemical additives or protein powders.
