It would seem that condensed milk and condensed milk are one and the same. But this is not the case. I'll tell you what the difference is and how to buy a quality product.
Do you look at the composition of those products that you buy? It goes without saying for me. I can get stuck in the store for several hours reading the formulations of the products I see for the first time. But I can take the products that I have already bought without looking.
This is what manufacturers use. To save on cost, they make products with a similar name, but very different in nature. Returning to the topic of today's article. Do you know what is the difference between condensed milk and condensed milk?
Many of my friends have confidently stated that they are one and the same, but they are not. Let's look at the example of two cans of condensed milk that I bought.
Externally, both cans look similar, although there are differences in design. The Rogachev jar is made in a classic style, while Aro's packaging is white, although manufacturers usually try to repeat the usual design. Let's see what's inside.
Both condensed milk look similar in the photographs. Is that Rogachev is whiter. But they differ in texture. The texture is difficult to convey through the photo, but Aro's mass is dense and not as fluid as Rogachev's. Is there a difference in taste?
And here I already felt the difference. Rogachev has a bright and rich taste of condensed milk. The texture and density are excellent. The same cannot be said about Aro. This condensed milk tastes like vegetable oils. It's time to check the composition.
As I expected, Rogachev has an excellent composition - only 2 ingredients: milk and sugar (lactose, if anything, is milk sugar). Remember, this is exactly what the composition of condensed milk should be. Let's see what Aro has - here the lineup is not so short.
I won't go into details, but the most important thing I see is milk fat substitutes. It tastes strongly. I wonder how much such condensed milk costs?
I bought Rogachev condensed milk for 106 rubles. And condensed milk Aro costs only 45 rubles. At this price, it is not surprising that it is made with substitutes. Lack of milk fat and gives out condensed milk.
Manufacturers use a similar name so that you don't pay attention to it when buying. Often such condensed milk is bought without even looking at the composition, here everything is decided by the price.
