chateaubriant Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Last visit to France we could not find 100% skimmed milk or even semi skimmed, just loads of UHT.Is there a french equivalent?Or what is the nearest french milk to skimmed?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 skimmed milk = lait écrémésemi-skimmed = demi écrémé / semi écréméTry the fresh milk display in the supermarket, usually next to the cheese and butter.This afternoon, I bought some whole milk (fresh, unpasturised) to make cottage cheese with. There was a choice a fresh pasturised milk on the shelves, both skimmed and semi-skimmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araucaria Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Round here (the Cantal) I've never seen fresh skimmed milk in any supermarket - and I've certainly looked. Not even once. Maybe large towns only?Plenty of fresh full-cream and fresh semi-skimmed, but if it's skimmed you want it's only available as UHT. Fortunately UHT skimmed milk doesn't have quite the same noxious taste as semi-skimmed or full-cream UHT. Or maybe I've just got used to it.
