I thought of having a bowl of cereal after a meat meal, but wasn't hungry and I let it go. Maybe I'll do that for kicks some time in the future, or maybe just a cup of chocolate milk. But this morning I did finally decide to try the cow free milk. I set myself up with a bowl of Raisin Bran cereal, and then added a cup of chocolate milk made from cow free milk with chocolate powder.
Now, I do not consume a lot of milk - the occassional cup of chocolate milk, and a bowl of cereal once every few months... so I cant really say I have had a cup of regular milk recently to have the taste and texture fresh in my mind while tasting the cow free milk, but I did try it and think it was pretty similar to milk and it was fine. The chocolate milk wasnt great but that could have been my fauktm will have to try it again. I also drank a little bit of regular milk after to compare.
I am not sure if I would know in a blind test which cup is which, but I think I would. There is that heavy full milky taste that is missing from the cow free milk. Even though both were 3% maybe the cow free milk is more similar to skim/lowfat milk. Or maybe in a blind test I wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all... In the cereal it tasted like milk and I probably couldnt tell the difference. Drinking it straight was fine but I think I could tell a difference.
It is definitely close enough to the OG milk that I might have some with my hamburger or chicken....

So is it like Re-milk? It’s real milk but made from yeast, or is it a substitute like soy? Just looking for clarification. And is the milk you got parve? Here’s to tasting new things!
ReplyDeleteit is lab made, not a substitute like soy. it is supposed to be exactly like milk, chemically identical, minus the cow. it is pareve.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Part of this makes me wonder, I remember when tofutti and other stuff like that was new, I believe there is a Halacha that the box needed to be on the table for maris eyin? Shows how practice and Halacha evolve, I can’t remember anyone doing that for years. But with this new milk that’s milk, just not milk, wonder if that will change again, especially when G-d willing they make cheeses from it. Been waiting for a “real” cheeseburger, chicken parm and stuff like that. Also if they can make “butter” there is the Halacha of not making bread with butter (I think that’s the Halacha with the shape of the bread, feel free to correct me) so how would that work with this type of product?
DeleteI dont think the bread issue is butter specific but any dairy bread needs to be made into a different shape so it is noticeable (I always heard this is why cheese burekas are shaped into a triangle). I would guess bread made with pareve butter or other cow free milk based ingredients would not need the different shape, but good question. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the rabbis and kashrut agencies say about that..
