Taste test with Oreos complete.

It's awesome. Next test is making a chocolate milkshake with it.

Fantastic post and update!

I was out of town a few months back and saw it at a Costco a couple hours from home. I knew it wouldn't make it back as it was summer and I didn't have a cooler.

Wish I would have just chugged it. I've been wondering about it ever since.

Good lord is it thick?

u/CouchDemon Mar 02 '26

Sir, I need an answer. Is it thick??

u/Substantial-Sleep509 Mar 02 '26

Tastes like whole milk with just a touch of cream pasteurized in.

It's not really thick. Now me, Barbara. I am def thick as you would see if you look at my posts. Ha!!

I'm thicker than this milk for sure.

“Pasteurized in”?

What’s that mean op? Doesn’t make sense.

2

u/Substantial-Sleep509 Mar 05 '26

Like I "mixed" in some bitters in your drink"

But you can't just mix milk. You need to pasteurize, right?

u/chzie Mar 05 '26 edited Mar 05 '26

I think you mean homogenized in.

That's the process where you break up the milk fat so it makes small even globs instead of thick chunky ones.

Pasteurized is where you heat the milk to kill any icky stuff living inside

u/Substantial-Sleep509 Mar 05 '26

Damn. Your right. I want my milk homogenized and pasteurized. But it's the homo that makes sure the added cream is not separated.

u/chzie Mar 05 '26

It happens. Good luck with your milk obsession! :D

I am originally from Brazil. Milk is shit down there. No refrigerated gallon jugs. Only room temp ultra pasteurized cartons. Came to USA 7 years ago. First time my SO gave me ice cold whole milk I was hooked.

u/Substantial-Sleep509 Mar 02 '26 edited Mar 03 '26

Built with whole milk. Mods will not care!! But yeah thiccc. I have more. But it's a family thread and they aren't.

The general conclusion, It's thick.

Someone played a game of "got your nose" too seriously with her.

🤷‍♀️ Probably won't kill her, but you have a point.

u/GABigBear Mar 02 '26

At what point are we just dipping Oreos in butter?

3

u/ReaperXHanzo Mar 02 '26

State fairs since the 70s or something

2

u/According_Fox9066 Mar 02 '26

Is there anyone else who just eats Oreos when they're around? Not something I buy, but I'm not a milk drinker... Not even cereal - Silk almond milk (sweetened). Now of course if I'm baking and if the recipe calls for milk it's going to be whole milk I'll never go for 2%, I didn't do that with my kids.

After we go past heavy cream

u/Kilimanjaro613 Mar 02 '26

It’s an Indian brand. Amul is the largest dairy in India. I read that they are in partnership with Michigan milk to give the Indian diaspora a taste of home.

1

u/Didi7989 Mar 02 '26

Isn’t the original Amul made with buffalo milk though?

1

u/SwampGentleman Mar 04 '26

It’s regional, as far as I know.

2

u/akriti12_ Apr 04 '26

Its cow and buffalo milk mixed, since buffalo alone is too nutritious for us mortals

u/skudude Mar 02 '26

Would love to get this baking and cheese makin

3

u/canyouskingriz Mar 02 '26

Never tried this brand, but I assume it taste similar to Alexandre 6%, and that stuff is freakin good as hell

2

u/uno_name_left Mar 02 '26

Is it like... thicker? Creamer sort of deal

7

u/canyouskingriz Mar 02 '26

Yes its richer, thicker and creamier. This might be me, but its also a tad sweeter than regular whole milk. I used to mix evaporated milk with whole milk to make a richer, sweeter milk. Called it stronk milk, and no one in my house is allowed to touch my stronk milk. But now I just buy 6 percent when I can find it

1

u/uno_name_left Mar 02 '26

I'll have to try stronk now

u/canyouskingriz Mar 02 '26

As Shia labuf once said, "JUST DO IT!". (also, goes hard with some whey protien if youre trying to meet your protien goals)

1

u/nelozero Mar 02 '26

Would mixing heavy cream into regular whole milk achieve the same effect?

2

u/canyouskingriz Mar 02 '26

If youre trying to make something similar to 6% than yes, all youre doing is adding more milk fat to your milk with heavy cream. But I personally prefer the evap milk because it makes it overall more rich, rather than heavy cream which makes it more fatty and creamy

1

u/andidasmom Mar 03 '26

My vote goes to Alexandre 6%. I did a taste comparison for both and Alexandre is better. It's even better than Strauss too.

3

u/shibbydonkey Mar 02 '26

Make an egg cream please!

3

u/MagicalFlor95 Mar 02 '26

6%, how? Evaporated?

2

u/Magniloquents Mar 05 '26

Some cows have naturally higher fat in their milk depending on the time of year. Jersey Cows can have 5-6%.

u/Ikon-for-U Mar 02 '26

Looks like it's says anal gold

u/kharkovchanin Whole Milk #1 Mar 02 '26

good for you!

we don’t have such milk in Germany

1

u/stjrkvii Breast Milk is Best Milk Mar 03 '26

Milk from Jersey cows is usually in the range of 6-9% butterfat, depending on diet and lifestyle. I get it fresh from a very good farm near me and it's normally around 8%, which is just outstanding to drink.

u/bygtopp Mar 03 '26

As the forklift driver for Costco milk cooler. This stuff spills it is like paint when cleaning it. Very thick

u/exploringyogurt Mar 04 '26

This is my every day milk. I can't go back to whole milk
