Carnation Nestlé Evaporated Milk is a concentrated, shelf-stable milk in a 17 oz resealable tetra carton that adds rich creaminess to both sweet and savory recipes.

Ready to upgrade everyday cooking and baking, this evaporated milk has about half the water removed to create a creamier texture than regular milk. Packaged as twelve 17 fl oz cartons, it stores at room temperature until opened, making it a useful pantry staple for households, bakers, and professionals who want consistent texture and flavor without heavy cream.

What makes this evaporated milk different from regular milk?

Evaporated milk is simply milk with much of its water removed, producing a denser, creamier liquid that behaves differently in recipes. It provides a richer mouthfeel than standard milk without the fat content or cost of heavy cream.

• Concentrated milk body for thicker sauces and custards
• Made from 100% real milk with added vitamin D
• Shelf-stable until opened — ideal for long-term pantry storage
• Packaged in resealable tetra cartons for portion control

How should I use Carnation evaporated milk in cooking and baking?

This milk works as a direct swap or enrichment ingredient in many recipes where you want creaminess without full-fat cream. It blends into both hot and cold preparations and helps create uniform texture in baked goods, custards, soups, and sauces.

• Stir into mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese for silkier texture
• Use in custards, flans, and tres leches for consistent richness
• Whisk into soups and sauces to enrich without separating
• Replace part of the milk in baking to boost moisture and crumb quality

How do I store and handle the tetra carton after opening?

The carton design reduces waste and keeps the milk fresher after opening when stored properly. Refrigerate immediately after opening and use within the recommended period to maintain optimal flavor and safety.

• Shake carton before opening for best consistency
• Refrigerate after opening and consume within 10 days
• Keep unopened cartons in a cool, dry place away from direct heat
• Resealable spout helps control pouring and reduces spills
