Probably "Ultra pasteurized". Very high temps, provide longer shelf life. Being in the ice cream business, thats based on some knowledge. We make our mix from scratch, and pastuerize at standard temps 155 degrees hold for a half hour. We can hold it for about 2 weeks at the most. Don't know a thing about the shaking though! Charlie
It's half milk, half cream. The milk is less dense so it sits on top of the cream. At least I think that's the right way, could be the other way around. Think oil and vinegar but less extreme. More like a black and tan, but who the hell shakes that? No one, that's who. No one worth talking to. Where was I? Oh yeah, so it separates. So shake it, then pour, so you get roughly half milk, half cream. Like you would for your salad. Unless you want all oil. Or milk. Or cream, maybe. Whichever sits on top.
You shake it to mix both half&half's together and get a morning workout too. Yup, every time. Yeah think it is usually cream and milk mixed. They say the cream rises to the top, who ever they are. Use light cream myself and the date is usually over a month out when I buy it, lasts forever. Lot longer than milk. I even shake my milk too. Now mull over jumbo shrimp, hmmm
Half&Half lasting so long is a modern marvel of food technology, and I like it. I've wondered too why it outlasts milk by weeks. They are both pasteurized.
