According to U.S. Dairy, Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) milk, commonly known as long-life milk, is heated to at least 138°C for two seconds to extend its shelf life. In Europe, this type of milk is remarkably popular due to a combination of historical tradition, logistical advantages, and consumer convenience. The factors behind this preference are rooted in historical dairy infrastructure, modern retail habits, and even environmental considerations.
