Al Rawabi Full Fat Milk is pasteurised fresh from one of the UAE's own dairy farms, and it carries the well-rounded, slightly sweet taste that full fat milk is known for. It's the kind of everyday milk that suits a whole household at once, poured over breakfast cereal for the kids, stirred into a pot of masala chai, or used as the base for a simple white sauce for a Friday night pasta bake. Because it holds a good amount of natural fat, it also steams into a smooth, velvety foam for a homemade latte, and it enriches curries, custards and rice puddings without needing any cream added. Middle Eastern households often use it in muhallabia or rice-based puddings, where a fuller-bodied milk gives a silkier set.

When choosing a carton in-store or online, check the pack is properly chilled and the seal hasn't been tampered with, both better indicators of quality than the printed date alone. Once you bring it home, store it toward the back of the fridge rather than the door, since that's where the temperature stays steadiest, and always reseal the cap tightly between pours to keep it tasting fresh for longer.

If you'd like to compare it against lower-fat versions before deciding, you can browse more milk options online and pick what suits your family. QuicKart delivers it chilled with free delivery across the UAE.
