How to keep milk fresher for longer: just one step
Proper storage of food has always been and remains important. This is especially true for perishable ingredients that don't last long in the kitchen. One of them is milk, whether it's homemade or purchased. With one simple step, you can help it stay fresh longer.
The FoodOboz editorial team, based on the advice of expert Beth Lipton and EatThis, will tell you how to store milk properly and for longer.
According to the expert, the main trick to extend the "life" of milk is to place the drink in the refrigerator correctly. Thus, it is recommended to store milk at a temperature of 0 to 3 degrees Celsius. So, you need to put it near the coldest parts of the refrigerator. These are usually right at the back of the unit.

It is important not to overdo it and cause the milk to freeze. Although, for that matter, it is possible and even necessary to freeze the drink, but in the freezer. For this purpose, it is recommended to freeze the whole package but to pour it in parts. This will help to avoid a kind of "explosion" in the freezer. And when you want to take out and drink fresh milk, defrost it in the refrigerator.

Where milk should not be stored
We bet you're used to placing a bottle of milk somewhere in the refrigerator door. And you've been right about that. The fact is that the temperature there is usually higher and tends to fluctuate frequently. In this case, the best place is the bottom shelf, which is considered the coldest place in the refrigerator.
