“Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years,” says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. “Actually, it’s gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015.”
While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it’s actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it’s more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.
Nor are most people making cheese with bagged milk from the grocery stores.
Do you usually make the cheeses you buy in the grocery store?
Your argument makes no sense.
There are probably some slight differences between milk used for further processing and milk sold directly to consumers but it’s of a very similar quality. A lot of cheese in Canada is made from third party milk rather than milk produced on premises.
