Hello,
I was wondering what the milk situation is on the island. Last year my husband and I didn't really pay attention as we aren't big milk drinkers. We didn't see typical US-style milk. This year we are going with 2 friends who very much enjoy milk. What are the options?
THANKS!

Check at Marché L'Oasis and Match. I know I've seen it at one of them in the past, but that might just have been in high season.

I'm not much of a milk drinker, but my memory is that fresh milk from St Thomas Dairies is available in the typical US half-gallon containers. I do most of my shopping in Match and Oasis, so that is where I likely would have seen it.

Maybe I haven't seen those but I am a milk drinker and the Parmalat type in wax containers is fine by me. Skim milk or Lait ecrème

the match carries fresh milk....skim and whole. They deliver on Fridays...check the expiration date...sometimes they won't put out the new before the old is bought...just ask if it is past expiration...

The Parmalat is double pasteurized and the expiration date is like 2 to 3 weeks.
