soured milk

Dairy gone bad

Soured milk is milk that has gone bad, developing an unpleasant taste and smell from bacterial action.

The term distinguishes accidentally spoiled milk from intentionally cultured products like buttermilk or yogurt.

The soured milk in the fridge needs to be thrown out.

Some baking recipes call for soured milk as a leavening agent.
