The only reason I know it's possible is that in the 80's there was a milk shortage where I was growing up and the local dairy farm superstore was advertizing it was okay to freeze milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freezing-whole-cows-milk#post-790203 Fri, 17 May 2013 08:06:56 +0000 regberadaisy 790203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: is it still as nutritious after it's been frozen though? I have no basis for my question, just asking. :)</p> <p>I guess I'm curious why you even need to freeze it? I just bought two 1/2 gallons yesterday of low temp pasteurized, non homogenized local milk and the date stamped is 6/2 and it's good for 2-3 days past that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freezing-whole-cows-milk#post-790195 Fri, 17 May 2013 08:04:58 +0000 looch 790195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it all the time. I buy three half gallons at a time, at least, and note the use or freeze by date. It takes a while to defrost in the fridge and you have to shake it a lot, but otherwise, it is totally possible.</p> <p>A half gallon lasts about 3 days in our house, so the dates are never a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freezing-whole-cows-milk#post-790177 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:56:35 +0000 regberadaisy 790177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mm..never heard of freezing cow's milk before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freezing-whole-cows-milk#post-779688 Tue, 14 May 2013 06:43:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 779688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In efforts to keep grocery shopping down to a minimum, I would like to try to freeze the organic whole cows milk we buy for our little one. We go through about a gallon a week or every 7-10 days. </p> <p>I know you can freeze milk, but what about the expiration date? Usually our organic milk because its only pasteurized not ultra pasteurized has a relatively short expiration date. </p>
