If it is packaged aseptically (like juice boxes or soy milk, in those sealed cartons) and labeled UHT, it will not need refrigeration until it is opened.

What does THAT mean? Can milk (or half-and-half) be pasteurized more than once or is that just more fancy marketing-speak?DVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279617743976083379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-1155226451354090292006-08-10T12:14:00.000-04:002006-08-10T12:14:00.000-04:00Half-and-half is half milk and half cream; my whol...Half-and-half is half milk and half cream; my whole point is that the fat-free chemical soup is not half-and-half at all. People use the real stuff if they want a certain degree of creaminess -- but not as much creaminess, or fat, as light cream or full cream. I'm about to use some in my coffee right now.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01512881095588291721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-1154569549640693802006-08-02T21:45:00.000-04:002006-08-02T21:45:00.000-04:00Agreed on the fat-free cheese.
