“Our customers are pleasantly surprised to see our milk is easier to froth than fresh milk.” Sodiaal produces Just Milk, a long-life bottled milk available skimmed, semi-skimmed and lactose-free.
The huge variation in quality of ultra-heat-treated milk means most of us have experienced long-life milk with a curious, often unpleasant flavour notes. Just Milk, however, which is heated to 140°C for just a few seconds, has a great fresh flavour.
The secret is the process, which alters the proteins in the milk making it easier to foam. Sodiaal is one of the market leaders in France. And whereas the UK spilt between fresh milk and UHT is about 95% fresh: 5% long life, in France that picture is completely reversed. So we have the experience and expertise to make a better quality UHT milk than you might get in the UK.
There’s a perception in the UK that UHT milk will taste bad, and have the strange burnt aftertaste you often get. But in fact, young consumers who have no previous experience of UHT report enjoying the great flavor and creamy taste.”
Just Milk Semi Skimmed has a creamier taste than standard semi skimmed, delivering a luxurious feeling coffee to customers keen to cut the calories. Just Milk is also a great back-up option coming into its own when supply issues occur. Thanks to the ultra-heat treatment (and absolutely no additives) Just Milk lasts for six months in an ambient cupboard or shelf, just requiring refrigeration once opened. So that’s skimmed, semi skimmed or lactose-free milk ready to steam when you are.
