This trick will increase the shelf life of both store-bought and farm milk by up to 10 days.

Farmers came up with a simple trick that was adopted by confectioners and thrifty housewives.

Raw milk does not lose its taste and nutritional qualities for 48 hours if stored at a temperature of +1 …+3 °C.

When the indicator increases to +4 °C, the period is reduced to 36 hours. Raw milk will be stored at +6 °C for exactly 24 hours. At +8 °C, the product will remain fresh for no more than 18 hours.

Experienced housewives use one trick that helps extend the shelf life of both store-bought and farm-made products.

Salt should be added to the milk. One pinch is enough for each liter. After adding, the container should be shaken well and then put in the refrigerator.

Salt is an excellent preservative that prevents bacteria from multiplying. Milk will last for 10 days without going sour. Another advantage of the trick is that the taste of milk does not change - you can't taste the salt.
