UHT (Ultra High Temperature) milk undergoes a heat treatment process that involves heating it to at least 135°C (275°F) for a few seconds, effectively killing harmful bacteria and spores. This sterilization process, combined with aseptic packaging, prevents the growth of microorganisms that cause spoilage, including those that produce sourness. As a result, UHT milk can be stored for long periods without refrigeration and does not sour like regular milk.

This prevents the butterfat from settling out of the milk and creating a cream layer on top of the milk.

However, some lactose-intolerant individuals may find it easier to digest UHT milk due to its different taste and texture. If you're looking for lower lactose options, lactose-free milk or specially processed low-lactose milk would be better choices.
