Is there any difference in taste between Nestle Professional Pack full cream milk and the common Nestle full cream milk in pink coloured packets found in supermarkets?

More creamier than normal. Different process I guess.

Thanks for the quick response. That is good to hear as the regular Nestle in pink colour packets doesn't taste so good as the taste is little pale without milk taste. More like water taste. I usually buy Dutch Lady full cream milk instead as the milky taste is stronger but it isn't pure milk taste to give it the stronger flavour. It seems like something is added to Dutch Lady milk, vanilla essence or something similar to give it the flavoring.

Will likely give this Professional Nestle a try but the damn seller on Shopee isn't telling me the expiry date when I asked.

Dutch lady full cream milk may not taste like fresh milk as sold in cold section but it definitely suits best whenever i wanna make milk tea, milk coffee or whatever that requires full cream milk. It just blends smoothy and tastes right, i've tried fernleaf, marigold and a few more which disappointed me.

Price-wise, dutch lady full cream milk also quite cheap compared to others, sometimes Tesco offers at rm5 each pack. Reconstituted milk such as this dutch lady will always have added extra ingredients such as flavoring and plant based stabilizer.

I think McCafe uses pure milk in their latte which is quite nice. However for my daily matcha latte and milk tea i'll just stick to dutch lady full cream milk.

The bakery supplies shop i usually go the boss says these are actually the same as the normal ones u see in supermarkets but these are packed for food manufacturers so its more cheaper.

I'd definitely agree there. Similarly Dutch Lady Full Cream milk tastes best when used with any type of beverage, coffee, tea, Milo, cocoa or anything else due to the rich milky flavour. With other brands of milk such as Nestle, Fernleaf, Marigold, Good day etc., you don't feel the added richness of the milk when it is added into your beverage drink. As if you didn't add any milk in the drink with these brands even though you have poured the milk into your tea or coffee. Tastes more like water than milk.

With Dutch lady full cream milk, you can really taste the creamy taste of the milk.

Yes, price is very reasonable with Dutch Lady Full cream milk with RM5 per pack being the cheapest I can find throughout the years. I will buy at least half dozen (1 carton) if it is priced at RM5 to 5.50. Sometimes the price goes up to above RM6 and closer to RM7 and I'd say forget it.

The other brands of inferior milk such as Fernleaf and Good day, sometimes they are priced at RM4 per pack but I won't be buying them anymore as the taste cannot match the Dutch Lady Full cream milk.

The milk in the cold section cannot be kept long and it is slightly higher in price than the non-cold section so I usually buy less of the cold milk. However, what I've found is the taste of the Dutch Lady full cream or Fresh milk in the cold section is slightly pure in the taste than the Dutch Lady full cream milk in the non-cold section. In other words, you can drink the milk by itself and the taste is more pure. You can also drink the Dutch Lady full cream milk in the non-cold section but you can feel the taste is not as pure, but as a complement to tea, coffee. Milo and other cocoa beverages it is perfect due to the stronger milk taste which brings out the flavour.

As an update, as the seller didn't revert on the expiry date of the Nestle Professional milk, I ended up not buying the milk.

Half dozen, that's quite an amount of milk! It seems you like milky beverages very much, well at least it's healthier than non-dairy creamer which we should avoid at best.

It's true but weird and i don't know why, same ingredient - milk but different brands taste not the same at all, not even close to Dutch lady. I like my milk tea very strong, like brewing 25g of black tea leaves per mug of 450ml. Other brands of full cream milk either too watery or taste weird, leaving the tea too overpowering. Only Dutch lady full cream milk can smoothly balance my strong tea with its creamy flavor, like 40% milk and 50% strong tea, another 10% of sweetener would be just fine.

Speaking of sweetener, i found that brown sugar goes well with both milk tea and coffee, whereas honey paired with matcha latte would yield an interesting taste, depending on the type of honey you use. Capilano organic honey (white label bottle) has a very strong wild floral taste, it's odd if i put it in my other beverages but tastes heavenly if i just paired only with Dutch lady full cream milk and again, Dutch lady wins.

Yes, i wouldn'd be tempted to buy other cheaper brands. I will always zoomed for the blue packing of Dutch lady. But not the light blue Dutch lady low fat milk, it just wouldn't have the same creaminess as full cream. I can diet on any food but not my full cream beverages! Imagine having a spoiled drink, what could be worse than that?

I think that's the reason why Dutch lady has both full cream milk in the cold and non cold section. As a breakfast milk and as a complementary to beverages. The price also not the same.

Just wanna do a quick review on Farmhouse fresh milk that i bought due to Dutch lady out of stock.

Im not sure what it tastes like with other beverages or drink straight out of the packed milk, but so far i've only tried with matcha latte. And it's a nightmare. It has a weird aftertaste and as the name implies, it doesn't taste like green grass or fresh air surrounding the "farmhouse" but tastes literally the smell of cows in barns.

A bit of regret but have to finish all the twin packs before restocking Dutch lady!

Assuming you are getting the supply from Shopee - Nestle Professional vendor, then the expiry date is end Dec'2020. I just got my delivery!

Same as the 'normal ones' means Professional compare to what milk..... Nestle's Just Milk (Full Cream Milk) ?

Is there an obvious difference in price?

There is! And you'd be surprised that 'Professional' range goes out... cheaper... than the pink one. Got my Profesional at RM4.90/1L, whereas pink one retails at RM5.80/1L. but professional haven't taste yet. later taste will update

compared to the blue colored full cream milk.

Just Milk is a different category

thanks for reply. so you say those two the same, only packaging different? actually, before this I never see professional range in hypermarkets.... maybe like you say it is sold to food manufacturers to bulk usage?

Forget to ask.... both can be drink straight? or professional used for baking only?

Yes u wont see it in commercial hypermarkets...These are sold directly to food manufacturers and shops that specialty in producing food for consumers such as bakery shops (also bakery supplies shops) or coffee shops and etc.

Yes can be drink straight although the bakery supplies seller says might taste slightly different abit.

i'll put it to test soooonnnn!

Sometimes i see nestle pink box selling at about the same price as dutch lady full cream milk and other times cheaper depends on which supermarket i go. But tesco always has good chance getting the dutch lady at rm5 per box.

I used to have the urge to try nestle full cream milk but always doubted its taste and hesitated. Can it provide creaminess to milk tea, coffee or matcha lattle while not affecting the original taste of the beverages?

Did you get ur nestle shipped in good condition btw?

Thank you.

never have i see both selling at the same price.... usual the full cream milk is more expensive. maybe in your case, the expiry date is nearer? on your next question, have no idea. usual i use fresh milk for my coffee! and yes, my nestle came in good condition. but i did read many comments saying their goods came leaking...

if u compare both nutritional values

u would notice that the professional one has less nutrients/vitamins

I remember the place i went was Jayagrocer where both dutch lady and nestle full cream milk are selling at rm6.20, but dutch lady always have discount like 40 cents cheaper. Yes you're right nestle full cream milk is always more expensive at most major supermarkets. I think when it comes to cooking whichever brand doesn't matter. As for beverages the milk makes tremendous difference, and bad aftertaste could literally spoil the day!

Doesn't sound good. Thanks for the information and looks like I'll be skipping this one.

Yes I bought mine from the Nestle Professional store too. The expiry date of my batch is Feb 2021 but the price is RM5.26 per pack instead of RM 4.90. The pink coloured packs at supermarkets can sell as low as RM4.00 sometimes.

I didn't buy the pink ones for a long time but judging from my memory, this Nestle Professional milk tastes different from the pink ones. Milkier taste and more pure. The pink ones have a weird smell, not very tasty milk flavour. I may be wrong because I am judging from long term memory. Best if anyone has the pink and professional milk side - by - side for comparison.

I usually either drink straight from the pack or add to Milo chocolate or coffee beverages. Yes, the milk can be taken directly from the pack.

I tried the Nestle Full cream pink coloured pack sometime last year. First time and last time too. For me the taste is not good. Not only it doesn't have the nice milky flavour of Dutch Lady Full Cream but the milk tastes different but not in a good way. Difficult to describe. You can buy 1 packet and try it. Sometimes the price goes down to RM4 per pack.

This Nestle Professional milk tastes different and better than the Nestle pink coloured ones based on my long term memory. For a more reliable assessment I would need to buy 1 packet of the pink coloured milk and compare. It would be good if someone else can do that 😁

My shipment consists of 12 packets and 2 packets come slightly dented. Still acceptable as still intact. However, shipment is very very slow. Mine took almost 3 weeks I think. They don't have sufficient stock and need to wait for new stock to replenish.

I am not sure where GoodDay milk fares between all of the milk products we have mentioned? I would rate it the lowest because it does not taste 'full', it tastes watery, and like not fulfilling?

anyway, i have tried the professional and I gotta say that i love it? not very certain at first, because the box look like the milk is for baking/cooking... but then i like it!

but have not try use it to make latte, because not sure it is as good as using fresh milk. anyone have tried and want to review?

At first i thought i may be biased so i gulped down straight from the box and so long as i can recall the taste of our local brand Farm Fresh milk, this Farmhouse fresh milk doesn't just taste right. It has a weird aftertaste. I have to add more honey and matcha powder to mask the weird cow flavor, yucks.

The cheap price sounds too good to be true, i think i can totally forget about it. It's a good idea to order a dozen of milk packs online and have them shipped to your doorstep, instead of carrying those by yourself.

May I have the contact of your supplier? RM4.9/1L is a very good price
Thanks

got mine from nestle professional supplier in shopee

dutch lady also got this professional version of full cream milk.. i bought 1 few days ago.. tasted slightly better than standard full cream when making my daily nescafe..

anyway i used to get the dutch lady "fresh milk" (green label) from any speedmart99 or any mini/supermarket nearby.. but now there's no more "fresh milk".. is it because of PKP?

I haven't tried Dutch Lady Professional version of Full Cream milk though. After trying the Nestle Professional full cream milk, my thoughts as follows

DUTCH LADY full cream milk : Strongest milk flavour which is ideal for mixing with hot beverages such as coffee, tea or chocolate beverages. It brings out the flavour of beverages more as the flavour of the milk is stronger. If drinking the milk on its own, the taste is a bit strong.

NESTLE Professional full cream milk : Moderate milk flavour compared to stronger flavour of Dutch Lady. Moderate milk flavour when mixed with hot beverages. Ideal for drinking on its own.

NESTLE full cream milk (pink coloured packets) : Light flavour and weird milky smell. Tastes a bit like water.

Dutch Lady full cream milk is now selling at around RM6 per pack or higher if I'm not mistaken. The price of green coloured label is higher also.
