Shelf-stable pasteurized milk

Don't be afraid of this non-refrigerated milk! Not only is it better for the environment (it's typically sold in cardboard or aluminum boxes), but it also lasts for up to a month after its expiration date—that's 6 months unopened at room temperature. Once opened, the milk can be kept in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
