You might want to check your SM. I bought some whole milk and it was good. I was impressed by the packaging that told about the cows and dairy. Good marketing! My wife liked it a lot so I will buy it if they have it at SM when we are there. We don't go to SM much. I bought mine at the SM Hypermarket in Mandaue City Cebu. Odd thing was that it wasn't placed over with all the other milk brands, but down the isle near the soy milk. Might be worth scouting around to see if it's in a different area folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonjack2847 Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 We get fresh milk here about 70 a liter it is full cream so I just add some water to cut the fat content down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to check your SM. We don't have SM here yet. An SM City is being built so maybe next year. There are also no Fooda places either. There is a SM in Gensan, I will check in there next imm. at the end of the month. Our supermarkets run to Gaisano, Ace (not the hardware place) and KCC ( the most upmarket ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonHenk Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) I too have been looking for a decent milk here in Philippines. Unfortunately the Devonshire brand the OP mentioned is not available here in Naga City. So I can't comment on that. After much trial and error what I have found is a Philippine product called Alpine Whole Cream Milk. Reconstituted and evaporated in a can. Mixed 1 to 1 with water, chilled overnight it tastes remarkably like milk you would buy at the supermarket in the US. Two cans will make 1.5 liters. So 5 cans would make about a gallon. At P50 per can a gallon would cost you P250. Not too bad. I read online that most evaporated milk is 40% of original water content. So you could try a 40/60 mix and then 4 cans would make a gallon. The directions on the can does state that a 50/50 mix makes a milk that is above the legal standard for whole cows milk. But I haven't tried a 40/60 mix. Let me know if you do and how you like it. Hope this helps someone out. Enjoy, Ron Edited August 9, 2016 by RonHenk edited to replace condensed with evaporated. Sorry for the initial mixup. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnMyWay Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Warning! I tried Emborg UHT full cream milk from Germany just now. Yuck! It has the strongest chemical taste of any of the UHT milk I have tried! They were out of the Nestles green box full cream milk we usually get. That tastes fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Duty Free had another new one: MilkItaly. Yuck! I'd rather drink bleach! I've been buying Devonshire here at SM when we go there, otherwise Nestle green box whole milk.
