Buying & Storing Facts

Always check the ‘sell-by’ date when you purchase goat’s milk. Smell the top of goat milk’s container to sniff any odor of spoilage. Goat milk can get spoilt on being stored outside the refrigerator for a long time.
Store goat’s milk in lowest part of the refrigerator, which is also the coldest section. High temperatures can turn the milk sour pretty quickly.
Seal or close the milk container tightly, to prevent the aroma of other foods stored in the refrigerator from assimilating into it.
Do not store goat’s milk in the door cabins of the refrigerator, which get exposed to heat every time the refrigerator is opened.
