New in Stores: “Selo Zelenoe” Baked Milk With its charming countryside-style packaging, it was impossible not to try products from the “Selo Zelenoe” brand. We picked up their baked milk — and the result was even more pleasant than expected. In the past, people rarely drank fresh milk as it was. Instead, they slowly baked it in the oven, then added it to meals or drank it warm. Milk prepared this way keeps longer, has a higher fat content, and develops a richer, fuller taste. The baked milk from “Selo Zelenoe” reminds us of that traditional method — with its natural aroma, warm creamy color, and soft, slightly sweet flavor. You can make baked milk at home, but it takes at least 6–7 hours. That’s why buying it ready-made is much more convenient. If you’ve never tried baked milk before, you definitely should at least once — you’ll like it. Packaging The milk comes in an eco-friendly cardboard carton. The cap opens easily, and the convenient spout allows you to pour without spilling. The size is compact — even children can pour it themselves with ease. What we liked most is the shelf life: once opened, the milk should be consumed within 3 days. This indicates that the product contains no preservatives. Volume: 487 ml. Taste and Ways to Use The baked milk has a smooth, creamy taste and a warm beige color. It is slightly thicker than regular milk but very pleasant. There is no unusual smell or aftertaste. You can drink it on its own, add it to tea or coffee, or use it in baking and pancake batter. Not everyone on our team usually drinks milk, but almost everyone liked this baked milk. Especially when used for pancakes — it gives them a distinctive, richer flavor. Ingredients and Nutritional Value Ingredients: whole milk and skimmed milk.

Lactose-free milk “Selo Zelenoe” is an ultra-pasteurized drinking product made from natural cow’s milk. The lactose in its composition is broken down using an enzyme, making the drink safe for people with lactose intolerance. The product is available with 1.8% fat content in 0.95 L packaging. It is produced in Russia, with a shelf life of up to 180 days when stored at temperatures from +2 to +25 °C. What does “lactose-free” mean? Lactose-free milk is milk from which lactose, the natural milk sugar, has been removed or broken down. This is necessary for people who lack the enzyme lactase responsible for digesting lactose. As a result of processing, the milk acquires a slightly sweet taste while retaining all the beneficial nutrients of regular milk — proteins, vitamins, calcium, and phosphorus. Benefits and Features Contains complete milk protein, vitamins, and minerals. Does not contain vegetable fats, preservatives, or colorings. Thanks to ultra-pasteurization, it maintains freshness and quality for a long time. Suitable for people with lactose intolerance and those monitoring their diet. The 1.8% fat content makes the drink light and versatile. Usage Lactose-free “Selo Zelenoe” milk can be used just like regular milk: drunk on its own, added to coffee or tea, or used to prepare porridge, soups, sauces, and baked goods. Features and Recommendations Despite being lactose-free, the product remains dairy and contains milk protein, so it is not suitable for people allergic to cow’s milk protein. The taste is slightly sweeter than regular milk due to lactose hydrolysis. When purchasing, it is important to check the labeling, as the brand also produces regular milk varieties. Lactose-free “Selo Zelenoe” milk is a modern product that combines traditional milk quality with care for people sensitive to lactose.
