Organic milk - hating it!

· · 🌡️ 26°F

I finally caved in and bought a carton of Amish Organic Country Farms 1% Milk (well, mainly because they were out of the fat-free milk gallon). I really had high expectations from this milk - seeing as how it is organic and all. I could not have been more unrealistic about my expectations.

This milk tastes like it came directly from the cow or buffalo or whatever bovine they were milking. I know some of you are smirking and saying. "It's milk. What else did you expect?".

Let me tell you, I did not expect the farmyard cow/bovine smell. It completely throws my milk drinking experience. It taints my coffee and makes tea unbearable with its heavy heavy cow-ish/bovine odour. My tongue is now coated with the same odour and I can feel it slowly creeping up my sinuses. Ugh. Ugh. UGH.

I am DONE with this Organic Amish milk business. I am going back to fat-free mass-produced possibly hormone tainted neutral-smelling milk. I think I will deal with the devil and trade a little undue cell proliferation for the urge to throw up everytime I drink my favourite black tea with milk.

Maybe boiling will do away with the smell? What do you think?

    I don't know nothin about organic cow milk. You'd be able to use it up quicker, and probably notice the taste less, in cheesy dishes. I recommend a yin/yang mornay sauce with organic milk and Kraft singles freedom cheese.

    I once ended up with a carton of rice milk and it totally fucked with my coffee until I found something else to do with it. Soy milk is ok in coffee. Rice milk tastes like rice. I like rice as much as, if not more than, the next guy but if you don't draw the line somewhere man where are your principles.

    I prefer milk that comes from cows not treated with growth hormones but never have had organic. I like Byrne Dairy which is sold at the coop or I have heard at Price Rite. The coop sells it in a glass returnable jar and I swear it tastes so good from a glass jar.

    I find myself in perfect agreement with e:zzzzzzooobbbbarr even though I am less than unprincipled about many things - which is equivalent to saying that I deliberately may have deleted the concept of principles from many icky situations. I draw the line at inhaling and gulping down the scent of cows and other ruminants, however.


    LOL @ @heidi's comment. Yeah, shows shocking lack of exposure to anything farm-related, huh? Do you like that smell - can you detect it, just curious...


    @libertad - really? recyclable glass? How much is a gallon at the coop?

    I have no idea. I never buy a gallon and I admit I don't even look at the price of things that I buy on a consistent basis. The glass has a refundable deposit on it. You really should try it just once because it really tastes so awesome.
