Pasteurized Milk vs Loose & UHT Milk and why Prema is right for you
There are a lot of terms flying around as dairy companies fight the battle over nutrition and hygiene so lets start with the basics. What is Lose Milk, UHT and Pasteurization? How are they different and more importantly, which one is the right choice for you?
Loose Milk is un-packed, un-chilled, un-filtered, raw milk,which is often pooled from various informal sources & not treated in any way, so it starts out as a “natural” product. However the down sides include a complete lack of traceability, bacterial levels that are dependent on a whole range of “un-known’s” such as the environmental temperature, hygiene measures that are adopted and most importantly, there’s the issue of adulteration in order to increase volume or to enhance the color and perceived richness of the milk (by adding water, bleach, fertilizer, corn starch etc)
UHT (Ultra Heat Treatment) involves heating the milk to about 138 degree °C for 2 seconds which kills all the bacteria in the milk & combined with aseptic packaging, allows for a much longer shelf life at ambient temperatures. This works for everyone as the product has a longer shelf life and is easier to store and deliver. There can be no doubt that the introduction of UHT has made a very significant contribution to food hygiene & nutrition. However, this additional convenience comes at the cost of flavor, texture & a reduction in some of the nutritional quality of the milk.
On the other hand, Pasteurized Milk is heat treated at a lower temperature & for a shorter time as compared to UHT (just enough time & temperature to kill any harmful bacteria, but not enough to adversely affect the taste, texture or nutritional value of the milk).
Because of these advantages Pasteurized Fresh Milk & dairy products are generally accepted to be the best combination for health, nutrition & taste and Pasteurized fresh dairy products have become pretty much the standard in the developed dairy markets such as the US, Europe and Middle East.
OK, that’s the science lesson over, now the Prema pitch!
At Prema, we only produce Pasteurized dairy products and you can be sure every pack has come from our own herd of Australian cows (no pooled milk, no external suppliers, no loose milk collection, no additions, no adulteration). Our dairy cows are fed, housed & managed to the highest standards. It takes a bit more time and a lot more work but it’s the only way to guarantee quality from the cow to the consumer. At Prema we believe if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right !
That way our customers can be sure the milk entering our pasteurization & packing process has 100% traceability. But it doesn’t stop there, we are just not about producing & packing 100% certifiable milk but also the supply chain itself.
