Fabulous product- very yum and convenient= however, $25 for a case is highway robbery. If you have a whole foods near you- it's 5-7 dollars cheaper by the case, and 2-3 dollars cheaper even if you purchase individually.

I tried this milk for the 1st time at Panera Bread. I was a little skeptical having never tried "organic" milk before. This milk is unbelievable! Not only does it taste fantanstic but it does not have to be refridgerated so it's perfect for the sack lunch. I would give it 10 stars if I could!!

Most regularly packaged milks are NOT UHT treated-- that is "Ultra-High Temperature." Much like Pasteurization or autoclaving, this sterilization treatment significantly extends the life of the product by increasing the time it takes for bacteria to grow in significant quantities in the milk (the bacteria is what makes a warm bottle of milk "go bad"). The difference is these do not require refrigeration to prevent spoilage. These are bottled to be portable and durable, not just consumption. We use them for our daughter's lunches, trips, and general snacks.
It is true at $1.22 per bottle, the cost is ~20 cents higher than you can get at other locations--i.e., the cases are ~$16 at Costco. Still, for those of us that live in remote/rural locations-- it's a really good deal for doorstep delivery.

I was delighted when Horizon came out with Aseptic carton milk. We live in an area that is subjected to frequent thunder and ice storms. We lose power regularly. The shelf life of aseptic carton milk is about 4 to 6 months...so keep a couple cartons on hand and rotate them as needed. The flavor is excellent. It's hard to make pancakes and eggs without power but at least a bowl of cereal is doable with this product.

Great milk. Very tasty. I think this is all I'm going to buy to drink from now on. Though Amazon should lower the price. They just made the price even higher and now even their subscription plan is way too high. It was 18 dollars, now it's closer to 22. Before the milk was 22 dollars a case and now it's 25. Why put something on sale and get people interested only to jack up the price now that you think they like it and will be more willing to buy? Shady.
