What does 1 percent milk fat mean?

When milk is homogenised, the milk fat is broken down into tiny droplets and evenly distributed throughout the liquid. This prevents the cream from rising to the top and allows for a smooth and consistent product.

The term "1% milk fat" means that the milk contains 1% of its weight in fat. By comparison, whole milk contains around 3.5% milk fat, while skim milk contains less than 0.5%.

1% milk fat is a popular choice for those looking for a low-fat milk option that still has some of the richness and flavour of whole milk. It is also a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritious choice for people of all ages.
