Is UHT milk the same as fresh pasteurized milk in Vietnam?

No. UHT is ultra-high temperature treated and shelf-stable at room temperature for months. Pasteurized milk like Dalatmilk is refrigerated 2–6°C with ~16-day shelf life and a fresher taste.

Can I drink condensed milk like fresh milk?

Condensed milk is sweetened and very high in sugar — it is for coffee desserts (cà phê sữa đá), not daily drinking. Dalatmilk NC is 100% cow milk with no added sugar.

Why does Dalatmilk need refrigeration?

Low-temp pasteurization preserves taste closer to fresh milk but requires cold chain 2–6°C — unlike UHT cartons on dry shelves.

Which milk is best for coffee in Da Nang?

For latte-style coffee with real milk taste, Dalatmilk Original (NC) 450ml or 950ml. Condensed milk is traditional for Vietnamese iced coffee with heavy sweetness.
