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?

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.

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.

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 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.
