Re: Parmalat Milk
I don't know about East Texas, but Parmalot, or its equivalent, is available in supermarkets in Massachusetts.

Parmalat Milk
Bill,
It's readily available on the east coast. I googled Parmalat Milk and found over eleven varieties plus.
It's available in organic, whole, skim etc. You can also get it in powder form. It's long shelf life makes it ideal for extended cruising.
If there is no store selling it in your area, Amazon will ship it to you in the powdered form.
Best regards,
O J

Big Scandal
Foreign company that owns that is rife with conflict, and besides, it gives me the runs.
Buy American.

Parmalat
If you can't get it locally, try Foodlocker.com They carry lots of different hard to get foods.
I get my Ranch Style beans from them, since you can't buy it here in the east.

Thanks to all
And Jerry, I'll look at foodlocker.com.
and as an fyi, at least according to amazon.com, it appears to me that Paramalat and farmland may be one in the same (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... armland</a>).
but that doesnt necessarily mean its so.

Taste Improved?
In my early days of cruising with the Pacific Fleet no substitute for fresh milk was offered after we drank the last of the San Diego milk as we sailed to westpac. This was back in late 60s/70s. However, by the 1990s the galley was serving a waxed cardboard boxed milk. White, chocolate, and strawberry. I don't recall the name. I'm prepared at this time to relay the crew's taste test: YEECCH. The only guys that would drink it were the mostly young ones that also drank coke for breakfast rather that good navy coffee.
I am assuming we are talking about a different product since some are considering a special order? Or have they improved the flavor and aroma? If the taste has not improved I would have to say that you CD lot are one tough bunch. Could I interest you in a Philipine baloot.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Taste Improved?
We had sterilized milk, which came in cans. It had a sort of burned taste to it and only really tasted good alongside powdered eggs.Photo Chief wrote:In my early days of cruising with the Pacific Fleet no substitute for fresh milk was offered after we drank the last of the San Diego milk as we sailed to westpac.

The Parmalat/Farmland story...
If you're interested, just click on the link below to find out how Farmland divested itself from Parmalat and came out of Chapter 11.
"...Farmland Dairies saw its fortunes turn sour in 2004 when it had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as a result of financial mismanagement by the European parent company, Parmalat. The Italian company allegedly falsified documents to hide more than $4 billion in company funds, prompting an investigation, according to published articles...." Click to read the rest.
