My husband works in the UHT pasteurization engineering field. Dairy processors are seeing the value of UHT and changing their systems to include it. It helps them save money by not having to hurry their milk to the market.

Maybe someday we will be like Europe and use aseptic packaging!

Also UHT Pasteurized milk is not supposed to taste different. If it tastes different, the brand cooked it too long.

It’s so weird for there to be a topic that I know something about!
