ALWAYS check the expiry dates chuckie dear....on dairy products especially...before I buy milk, I ask what day the milk truck comes in so I can wait a
day if necessary to get fresh milk.

Milk
We always buy our milk in the cartons on the shelf, not in the refrigerated section. Has a shelf life of 2 - 3 months. Buy several, pop one in the
fridge every 5 or 6 days. No spoiled milk.

Been using Nido or Liconsa (available at Isste) for over 10 years. Whole milk, lasts for months, costs less, tastes great, packs small. No problem.

I use Lala boxed milk and recommended the Jersey half and half it to my friend who ran a restaurant in Maneadero. The refrigerated trucks are
horrible in Mexico. I love the milk in the Box, it is so fresh, and never goes bad.
I got so fed up with sour milk in the frig section in Mexico, I will never buy it again. And the flavor is superb.

i dunno about Nutri Leche in the white/green box (Qt. size) but that's a 'use straight from the box' full strength and is dated, and doesn't need
refrigeration 'till opening. I prefer the li'l pint solid green boxes of it for my coffee instead of 1/2 and 1/2, and carry some spare pint plastic
bottles with me to put it in when it goes in the fridge. Doesn't quite stand up to par when mixed w/50% water to make regular milk, but for the
Morning Mud Ritual is Ichi Ban.
Oh, and stale milk makes for great baking and rice pudding!

Indeed nasty right out of the box.
Mix it with some cornflakes or drown some oatmeal in it....passable.
Del Valle is vial stuff.....tastes odd to me, whereas Caracol is what fresh milk should taste like.

Yup, Lala or Jerseymaid, regular, light, 1/2 & 1/2 and crema mediano in a smaller box......delicious.
Generally found on the shelf near the cereal. Has about a 2 - 3 month (warm) shelf life. When you open it, it goes in the fridge.

Thanks George. I take it no dairy products were involved.
