I tried to compare the taste of 'Oaso milk' that can be stored at room temperature for about 2 months on the day of the expiration date, just before the expiration date and a new one

'Long-life milk ', which retains the taste of milk for a long time by special processing, is milk that can be stored for about 60 days in an unopened state. Every time I run out of milk, which is consumed violently when I put it in coffee or tea, I have to go to the supermarket to buy a large amount of milk. ...... Then, I found this long-life milk because I wanted to order it online all at once. When I searched for items that can be purchased on Amazon.co.jp, I found 'Oaso Milk' from Rakuno Mothers, which has a capacity of 1 liter and a relatively low price. According to the official website, 'the expiration date is 60 days or more', so even if it is stored for such a long time, the flavor does not really deteriorate. Above all, the 'expiration date' is 'you can eat deliciously' according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Because it means, I actually stored it until the expiration date and compared it.

The package of Oaso milk looks like this.

Calories are 69 kcal per 100 ml. The name of each type is 'milk', the raw material is 100% raw milk, and it is sterilized at 140 ° C for 3 seconds.

We have prepared two types of milk: old milk with a 'best-by date of May 12, 2021' and new milk with a 'best-by date of July 10, 2021'. The shooting and tasting date is May 12, 2021, which is the expiration date of old milk.

Immediately, we will open it according to the opening method described on the package.

First, pull up the 'spout' and 'air vent' at the top of the package ...

Next, cut off the dotted lines of 'spout' and 'air vent' with scissors to complete the opening.

When pouring, hold the upper part with one hand and the lower part with the other hand in this way. It is easy to spill, so be careful when pouring.

Unlike ordinary milk, which is not 'long-life milk', Oaso milk has a slightly deeper flavor, a taste that leaves a lingering aftertaste, and a slightly stronger aroma.

Next, we prepared old milk and new milk and conducted a blind test with several editorial staff. The two in the back of the image are old milk and the two in the foreground are new milk, but you can't tell the difference at all from the appearance.

As a result of the test, there are some opinions that 'the intensity of the scent is different'. Older ones said 'it feels faded', 'weak sweetness', and 'doesn't taste unpleasant', while newer ones say 'strong smell', 'sweet', and 'drink refreshingly'. Was done.

In addition, there were opinions such as 'I can understand the difference because I was informed that it is different', and half of the opinions said that 'even if it is just before the expiration date, the taste does not drop so much that you can not tell the difference unless you taste it carefully'. The result was.

The biggest attraction of Aso milk is that it has a very long best-by date. Normal milk has a best-by date of about 2 weeks, but this Oaso milk has a best-by date of 8 weeks or more, and since it can be stored at room temperature, it does not wastefully occupy the refrigerator, so it is long-term. It is easy to store and can also be used as a preparation for emergencies such as disasters. This milk is perfect for people who say, 'Even if you buy milk, you can't consume it and the expiration date is reached.'

Oaso milk can

also be purchased at Amazon.co.jp , and the price is 1000 ml x 6 bottles for 2150 yen including tax.
