 |
|
It has to be at least 2% (could it be whole?). But milk tastes a little bit different here for some reason--do you guys notice that?
Anyway, I am going with the 1% now anyway that I see in the store. |

It sounds like you're describing Seoul Milk's standard packaging (depicted here: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8+%EC%9A%B0%EC%9C%A0&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=Eyy&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=954&bih=434&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnsu&tbnid=A-fTj7RQOMVd_M:&imgrefurl=http://ask.nate.com/knote/view.html%3Fnum%3D1148999&docid=4WYT14NIO9NLKM&imgurl=http://c.ask.nate.com/imgs/knsi.php/1148999/1/photo.jpg&w=350&h=336&ei=dUX2T66NDq7umAW1paWGBQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=272&vpy=88&dur=1593&hovh=220&hovw=229&tx=102&ty=157&sig=112947854766071544564&page=1&tbnh=113&tbnw=116&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0,i:81). That's whole milk. The "1" has nothing to do with fat content, it's just saying that it's 1st class milk.
The words you want to want to look for are 저지방 (lowfat, 1% for most brands here) or 무지방 (non-fat).
In my home we usually drink Namyang 저지방, which has 1% milk fat, but that's just the brand at our corner store. The carton looks like this: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=%EB%82%A8%EC%96%91+%EC%9A%B0%EC%9C%A0+%EC%A0%80%EC%A7%80%EB%B0%A9&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=954&bih=434&tbm=isch&tbnid=jzDG437j0RHnIM:&imgrefurl=http://namyangtown.co.kr/198&docid=oJzrC3HJC1EwDM&imgurl=http://cfile1.uf.tistory.com/image/116937544E49CC9319E074&w=300&h=400&ei=_Eb2T6TqLaLomAW-0uyRBQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=579&vpy=49&dur=2346&hovh=259&hovw=194&tx=89&ty=208&sig=112947854766071544564&page=3&tbnh=125&tbnw=94&start=29&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:29,i:214
Hope that helps. |

| Pasteur milk is by far the best supermarket milk that I've found in Korea as of yet. |

| AFAIK 23~24% - I find it's pretty tasty and good for making cheese. |

I just asked my wife.
Now that I know, I won't be buying this milk again.
Sitting down?
8%.
That's right. 8 percent milk fat.
Enjoy. |

Milk in Korea tastes different due to the different pasteurization process than in the US. I know that "organic" milk in the US is cooked in the same style as milk in Korea. |

Whoa. Whole milk is 3.25. I'm pretty sure it's not 8%, though. |
