Sabah Whole Pasteurized Milk 1L

Sabah milk undergoes HTST (High Temperature Short Time) pasteurization at approximately 72–75°C for 15 seconds. This thermal profile eliminates pathogenic flora while preserving native whey proteins and clean sensory notes without a cooked aftertaste, requiring strict 1°C to 4°C refrigeration for its 5 to 7 days shelf-life.

Raw milk is routed through centrifugal separators where fat is precisely standardized to a minimum of 3.0%–3.2%. It then undergoes high-pressure two-stage homogenization (150–200 bar) to disrupt lipid globules, ensuring uniform fat dispersion and preventing cream separation.

Bottles are bundled into 6-pack or 12-pack heavy-duty polyethylene shrink bundles, or loaded into standard returnable food-grade plastic dairy crates (holding 12 to 15 bottles) optimized for rapid van sales and grocery merchandising.

Each production batch is cleared through mandatory checks including negative antibiotic residue tests, titratable acidity, alcohol coagulation testing, phosphatase enzyme assay (confirming complete pasteurization), and microbiological total counts before shipping release.

Thanks to mild pasteurization preserving native whey proteins alongside standardized 3.0%+ milk fats, it produces dense, glossy micro-foam with exceptional elasticity and thermal stability under steam wand steaming, making it a barista favorite.

Due to the short shelf life of fresh pasteurized milk, distribution orders are contracted on daily or tri-weekly schedules requiring full or partial refrigerated truckloads (typically 500 to 1,000+ units per delivery run) to maintain velocity.

Bottles are molded from food-contact virgin HDPE with light-barrier properties, mitigating riboflavin degradation and photo-oxidation off-flavors. Filling takes place in an ultra-clean positive-pressure chamber equipped with HEPA filtration.
