                                According to numerous blind taste tests, a significant portion of consumers cannot reliably distinguish between different milk fat percentages, including 1% and 2% milk. Yet, the common perception is that the creamier, richer flavor of higher-fat milk is easily detectable. The truth lies somewhere in the complex interplay of fat content, texture, and individual sensory perception, all of which influence the answer to: can you taste the difference between 1% and 2% milk?
