lait

lait is the sort of half-skimmed milk people reach for when they want something lighter than whole milk but still recognisably milk. By our assessment, its value is in that middle ground: enough body for coffee, cereal, and cooking, less richness than a full-fat bottle. The trade-off is exactly the usual one for demi-skimmed milk, with a thinner feel than whole milk and less character than creamier options. In practice it is a straightforward fridge staple, not a product that asks for attention. lait sits in the middle of the dairy shelf, between richer milk and the lighter end of the category, and it works best when the goal is plain everyday use.
