Whey milk with 1% fat

Whey milk with 1% fat is a liquid obtained as a byproduct during cheese production, after the coagulation and separation of the curds from the milk. It is characterized by containing approximately 1% fat, making it a low-fat and lighter option compared to whole milk.

Origin: This product is common in the dairy industry, and its use dates back to traditional cheese-making techniques in various cultures. Whey is obtained after coagulating cow, sheep, or goat milk to produce fresh or aged cheeses.

Properties: Whey milk with 1% fat is rich in high-quality proteins, especially lactoglobulins and lactalbumins, which are easily digestible and have high biological value. It also provides minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, and contains water-soluble B-complex vitamins. Its low-fat content makes it ideal for light preparations or for those seeking to reduce their caloric intake while maintaining an important protein supply.

Culinary uses: It is used in baking recipes, smoothies, fermented products, and processed dairy items, providing a mild flavor and improving texture. It is also useful in the preparation of doughs, soups, and sauces where a nutritious, low-fat liquid is required.
