Nestle Nido Milk Powder Europe Imported 900-Gram (2 Pound)

perfect

My favorite milk

My complaint is only about the price for the amount of product. When I went through my "Buy Again" list, the 4.5 pound size item (53 servings) must have been unavailable and this one suggested as an alternative. I selected this based upon the price being more than before but close enough to what I paid before, so I just ASSUMED that the amount of product would be the same for about the same price. WRONG! This one is only 13 servings instead of 53! $1.42 per ounce vs $.28 per ounce!It appears now that this one has a different formulation (28% milkfat, vs just "whole milk" of the other one), so maybe that makes it "baby milk" formula, which is not obvious from the LARGE print on the label, but now I'm stuck with it. So pay close attention to what is suggested as a "Buy Again" alternative. I only want powdered milk as a temporay alternative to regular dairy milk and the regular "whole milk" version was better tasting than the non-fat dry milk that is the only product that I find in local stores. Maybe I can thin this one to 1/4 strength for similar results.

Taste good

Update - I purchased this back in April, see review below, and was quite pleased with the quality overall. It was great for about 4/5 months, and then, since that time, I've been using fresh milk. But just now I tried using it again after running out of store milk, and its behaving like curdled milk - separating into little white flakes and not mixing into my hot coffee whatsoever. That's good news on one level, it attests to it being a relatively natural product, but the expiration date states February 2022, and I have it stored in its original can. Not sure whether keeping it in the refrigerator might have helped, but am a little (not terribly) disappointed.Nestle Nido powdered milk is such good quality that you literally can't tell the difference from regular milk. I got it for my coffee and it dissolves instantly and tastes and looks virtually identical to regular milk - no subtly 'different' taste, it's truly indistinguishable from regular milk, at least in coffee. However, I'm disgusted by the inflated pricing. This is a 14.1 oz can, 5" H x 4" diameter and normally would not cost nearly this much, but greedy vendors across the board are taking advantage of the pandemic to inflate prices. I would have given 5 stars if not for this.

What's not to love about Nido? Honestly. I’ve never tasted another powdered milk substance that tastes more like milk. While it does inevitably has a different texture, I could live my whole life drinking Nido and not miss milk at all. It contents me that much. And that's saying a lot, especially since milk happens to be my favorite food.My family uses Nido when we go camping. It packs well and you don't have to worry about it spoiling in the car or in the heat. I also use it to thin out the other dry liquid powders I have in my pantry, such as hot cocoa powder or chai tea powder. Adding Nido to these is convenient because then I don't have to warm up a cup of milk before hand; all I have to do is boil the water, add the mix, and voila! I have a nice, steaming cup of *Milky* cocoa ready to drink on a cool, rainy day. Another perk of this trick is that it saves me money. I can go twice as long with whatever powder mix I buy if I thin it out with Nido first.

As a kid, our family were expats in East Africa, and when there were significant droughts and a milk shortage even in the capital city, we'd turn to Nido. I rediscovered it in the US while I was in professional school, and introduced it to my friends. I'm glad it's available on Amazon now.It's the same creamy taste, the perfectly melting powder in cool or warm or hot water. I'm now using it in my baking too and hope it'll deliver results on that front too! But if not, I love drinking it before bed. Like my mom used to prepare it for me when I was young.(Also, b/c of a shipping fluke, I got a 2nd order of it the day after I received the first. When I called Amazon to let them know so they can arrange a pick-up, they said it's a product that can’t be returned and just told me to keep/dispose of the extra can, no extra charge to me. So I got a 2nd can for free...and it's just sitting there. Maybe I'll donate it to a food bank.)

Too small for the price. I expected it to be the big can
