Whole milk

Whole milk is a fresh dairy product that contains all the natural components of milk, including approximately 3.5% fat. It is the base for numerous recipes, from creamy desserts to sauces and soups, providing rich and smooth texture and flavor.

It originates from milk obtained directly from cows, without having undergone skimming or fat reduction processes. Whole milk is a fundamental ingredient in many culinary traditions around the world, especially in Hispanic American and European cuisine.

Properties: Whole milk is an important source of calcium, protein, vitamins A and D, and healthy fats, which contribute to bone development and a balanced diet. Furthermore, its natural fat content helps enhance the flavor and texture of dishes.

In different Latin American countries, whole milk may also be known as fresh milk, natural milk, or simply milk, although the most common term is "whole milk". It is important to distinguish it from skimmed or semi-skimmed milk, which have a lower fat content.
