Pasteurized milk is exposed to "The Ultra High Temperature" (UHT) treatment. Which is a powerful heat treatment at 135-150°c for 4-15 seconds leading to that all Microorganisms and heat-resistant enzymes are inactivated.

The "UHT" treatment takes place in a totally closed, automatically controlled system to maintain the sterility condition of milk and avoid re-contamination, before it is aseptically packed.

UHT treated milk has excellent keeping quality and can be stored for long periods of time (months) at ambient temperature without spoiling and with no need for refrigeration which means that the product can reach geographically wider markets, simplify deliveries, using fewer and cheaper distribution vehicles and eliminate return of unsold products, no expensive refrigerated display space at retailers are required, stock planning is simplified, the consumer gains the convenience as he can make fewer trips to the shops.

NB UHT treatment does not contain any preservatives.
