Milk should not come in 1 liter boxes from a shelf and have an expiration date 6 months in the future. But here, and pretty much all of Latin America, it does. In the grocery stores, there are aisles with boxes and boxes of 1 liter containers of milk. Different brands, exact same stuff. Leche descremeda. Leche semidescremeda (1.2-1.5%). Leche entera. Leche semidescremeda chocolate, frutilla, chocolate plátano, chocolate manjar... Apparently they use some sort of super heating method that extends shelf life but leaves the milk tasting burnt. I find it pretty terrible, in fact. I'm looking forward to real milk again when I get back to the US.
