UHT milk

No refrigeration needed

UHT milk is milk that has been heated to ultra-high temperature—around 280°F—to kill bacteria, then sealed in sterile containers.

This process allows it to be stored unrefrigerated for months until opened.

Common in Europe and for travel, it has a slightly cooked taste compared to fresh pasteurized milk: We keep UHT milk in the pantry for emergencies.
