Does anyone have any knowledge of, experience with or ideas about long term dairy product storage? Particularly milk and cream and in relation to the varying % of M.F.
I have the cheese and butter considerations fully covered and I have a sizeable store of powdered milk and cases of condensed milk. However as far as those last two products the only resemblance to real milk is the word milk in the their description. Ok they are ok to cook with but there is no substitute for real milk and cream.
I have the first couple of weeks covered so I am looking for a solution for the time period to about one year. I have had limited success freeing milk with low m.f. but with milk with higher m. f. contents the fat separates on thawing. So any suggestions would be welcomed and no I don't have the room to buy a cow.
It may never happen. Best to be prepared just in case.
We freeze milk and defrost it easily , blue top , just pull it out and sit it in the drainer , when defrosted chuck it in the fridge , shake before use

Be Prepared.
Plan like its the last loaf on the shop shelves.
Plan like its the last beer in the fridge.
I used to freeze it also, i have been checking out the various UHT milks there are now, i dont like it particularly but there are loads more to try now?

If you use the phase "man up" you have alot to learn.

There was a section on milk preservation in the Household Cyclopedia that someone linked to recently. Very practical, and still applicable today, I think
We usually have spare milk in the freezer, plus spare bread and the ingredients to make bread in the cupboard. We'll be cut off for a few days this week because of the storm that's coming, so pays to keep stuff like that around.
