Why Europeans Don't Refrigerate Their Milk If an American were to walk into a Spanish grocery store, or a Spaniard were to walk into an American store, both would be surprised by one particular feature: The milk section. The American abroad would see bottles of milk out amongst the nonperishables, unrefrigerated, and might wonder how in the world one could safely drink such stuff. Meanwhile, the Spaniard would surely wonder why on Earth these Americans are wasting their refrigerator space on milk of all things. This hypothetical scenario would play out in just the same way if you were to replace the American with a Canadian, or the Spaniard with just about any European. That's because, while Americans and Canadians store milk in the refrigerator whether it's been opened or not, Europeans store unopened milk at room temperature. www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/why-europeans-don-t-refrigerate-their-milk/ar-AA1bsTF3?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=36a5fb8debd6414d841a04258afcf4d5&ei=20

shelf-stable milk needs no refrigeration until after it has been opened. you can't take a container of milk from refrigeration and just leave it on the counter or put it on a pantry shelf.

Yes, that's how I understand it too. It depends on how the milk is preserved. I know in the UK, it the norm to refrigerate milk.

I know in the UK, it the norm to refrigerate milk. brand i think of is Parmlat. they say their process..." helps prevent bacteria from being re-introduced into the milk after it is pasteurized. UHT milk requires no refrigeration until it is opened and it stays fresh longer than any other pasteurized milk, usually lasting more than 6 months unopened." as a single/senior, i don't drink that much milk, but hate when i need it and don't have it or it has gone bad on me. refrigerator space is also at a premium for me. ultra pasteurized dairy products (half/half, cream, etc) last a long long time but MUST be kept refrigerated at all times.

Kind of like canning vegetables/fruits/meats, etc. It works.

Yes, it does. Although I do think that canned milk tastes different to fresh milk.
