Leche, rellena, fluida, con mezcla de aceites vegetales hidrogenados
Filled milk is a fluid dairy product in which the original butterfat has been removed and replaced with a blend of hydrogenated vegetable oils, resulting in a density of 1.031 g/ml -- identical to standard whole milk. One US cup weighs approximately 244 g and one tablespoon about 15.2 g. The product looks and pours like whole milk because the vegetable oil globules are homogenized to the same particle size as natural milkfat, maintaining the familiar opaque white appearance. However, the fat composition is entirely different: hydrogenated vegetable oils contain trans fats and a saturated fatty acid profile distinct from dairy fat. Filled milk was historically produced as a lower-cost alternative to whole milk and is still used in some institutional and industrial food applications.

La medida por volumen varía porque asentado, compactación y textura cambian la cantidad real dentro de la misma cuchara o taza. Si los gramos parecen raros, suele ser un efecto físico y no un error. Repite el mismo método y confirma con peso.

Lácteos
Dairy products (milk, cream, yogurt, cheese) have different fat and water percentages. Volume hides these differences; weight keeps sauces, batters, and doughs consistent.
- La grasa modifica la densidad: elige la leche/crema con el % correcta.
- En quesos, rallado vs en cubos cambia el volumen; mejor pesar en gramos.
FAQ
- Why does filled milk have the exact same density as regular whole milk?
- The density of milk is primarily determined by its water content, dissolved lactose, proteins, and minerals -- all of which remain unchanged in filled milk. The fat phase contributes relatively little to overall density, and hydrogenated vegetable oils (~0.91 g/ml) have a density very similar to butterfat (~0.91 g/ml). Since only the fat source changes while the concentration remains equivalent, the final density is indistinguishable at 1.031 g/ml.
- Can filled milk be used as a direct substitute for whole milk in baking?
- By weight and volume, yes -- 244 g per cup applies to both products. However, the flavor differs noticeably because butterfat provides a complexity (diacetyl, lactones, short-chain fatty acids) that vegetable oils lack. In recipes where milk flavor is prominent, such as custards or ice cream bases, the substitution will be detectable. In recipes where milk is a minor ingredient, the difference is negligible.
- Is filled milk still commercially available?
- Yes, though its market has shrunk considerably. It is regulated under specific federal and state laws in the US, and some states restrict its sale. It remains common in institutional food service and in countries where dairy fat is expensive or scarce. The product is also used as a base for some coffee creamers and whipped toppings.
