2. What is the difference between full cream milk and filled milk?
   
   Full cream milk is milk made from animal fat which makes it creamier and tastier than other kinds of milk, while filled milk is made from vegetable oil such as corn, palm olein or soya. Alaska uses the finest vegetable oil from coconuts to make it as creamy and tasty as full cream milk.



3. What is the difference between evaporated filled milk and sweetened condensed filled milk?
   
   Alaska’s evaporated filled milk and sweetened condensed filled milk are both made of the finest vegetable oil from coconuts, but undergo different preservation methods. To make evaporated filled milk, water is partially removed from the milk then it is sealed in cans and sterilized to prevent spoilage.
   
   Sweetened condensed milk is made by partially removing water from milk and adding sugar to it. It is not sterilized as the sugar acts as a preserving agent. This results to thicker and sweeter milk than evaporated filled milk.
   
   Alaska’s Evaporated Filled Milk and Sweetened Condensed Filled Milk can be used in different dishes such as salads, soups, main entrée, and desserts. A good mixture of Alaska’s Evaporated and Sweetened Condensed Filled Milk creates creamy and tasty dishes that your whole family can enjoy. See our recipes for other serving suggestions.
