Judee's Pure Whole Milk Powder - 100% Non-GMO, rBST Hormone-Free, Gluten-Free and Nut-Free - Pantry Staple, Baking Ready, Great for Travel, Easy to Store and Shelf Stable - Made in USA - 2.5 lb (40oz)

This is the first time I’ve purchased this brand, and it will now be the only brand I purchased. Look at the ingredients just milk powder.....No other ingredients.... and the taste!!!!! A little history; I was looking for another brand of powdered whole milk for the company I was ordering from kept increasing the price of their product. 3 times in 4 months and now it’s $10.00 more which at the lowest cost before the increases, it was not a savings but options were limited. Plus the taste had changed and my family complained, So I had to search for a different brand and So Happy I did. Scenario ; I always put the powdered milk products into mason jars to get them out of those plastic bags. I have the jars together on one shelf in my pantry. I needed to make some milk and not paying attention I grabbed a jar....went to taste it after making a batch to see if it has enough powder..... Scream!!!! OH MY GOODNESS !!!! I thought I made a mistake and grabbed the powdered heavy cream jar instead of Judees powdered milk jar. ( remember this is the first time I’ve made milk from this brand) The taste is so fantastic, like cream ... I was floored!!! It was like I remember milk to be back in the old days when milk was delivered fresh from the farm that was close by. I’ll be using it in my coffee and baking from now on. I won’t have to order the powdered heavy cream anymore, this will save money even more. Before I wrote this I placed an order for 3 more bags. Please Judees!!! Don’t change your product or price it to where it’s out of mine and others price range. I am a customer for life. Thank you for a great product. AND....You can make cheese with it.

Excelente producto, lo recomiendo.

Bien

Purchased this item (2.5lb) to test for long term storage of dry goods. Had high hopes and perhaps it's better when mixed into recipes, where you'd add 1tbsp or so. As a substitute for whole milk, I find it lacking. I am a lifelong whole milk drinker, with no "milk allergies". For those with milk issues, try A2 milk, which is more palatable to those with weak stomachs. Cannot stand skim milk (horrid taste), and most store bought whole milk is bland and tasteless, but passable. Raw milk from grass fed and finished cows is best and will always be so. There is nothing that compares to it...the settled, thick cream on top, the non-pasteurized, non-homogenized, vanilla-eggshell-white natural goodness is a true blessing that we've been fooled into thinking is not healthy...when it's the ONLY healthy option. If you haven't yet experienced this amazing treat, search your favorite web browser for "raw milk". When not available, organic, store-bought milk is my next best option...even though it is ultra pasteurized (sigh). Continuing with to this product review: the powder is quite lovely to look at, and amazingly refined. No clumps, no large grains...it seems comparable to well refined flour. This product dissolves well in warm water (or very warm), but does require some mixing. Recommend an immersion hand-held mixer (or blender) for best results. Spoon mixing might work in small batches, but for 2-4 quarts at a time, it pays to use an electric blend. It does get frothy while warm, but will settle down once cooled and refrigerated. The color of the milk when finished is a bright white, a bit brighter than your typical store bought milk. The color and texture of this milk is very nice, with nothing strange to report. It pours well, and there is no unusual mouth feel or graininess. The only thing I find unusual and difficult to get used to is the TASTE. It doesn't really taste good. Not sure why others say it tastes great, but my guess is they have no clue what good milk tastes like. Some have reported a flour-like taste, and I'd say they are not far off. It is weird and not to my liking...at first I found it somewhat disgusting, but have tried to acclimate myself to the taste. If there is flour in this mix, I will be very upset. Although the taste is off-putting, it can be acceptable in small amounts (8 oz or less), if consumed quickly. The after-taste will be short lived. For purposes of long term storage and/or emergency use as a whole milk replacement for drinking on a regular basis, it is passable and usable, but not recommended. I will continue my search for a worthy replacement for traditional whole milk.

I don't have tons of experience with milk powder because of the terrible quality of most. I bought this one as it's rated one of the best - and it is! I was baking with it so wasn't too worried, but made a "glass" of it based on the instructions and chilled it in the fridge. While still not as perfect as a glass of milk from the cow, it's actually really good! Perfect replacement for fake creamer or taking camping. I made cocoa mix with it for the holidays and it was perfect for that!
