About Semi-skimmed milk

Semi-skimmed milk is cow milk with some of its cream removed, leaving less fat than whole milk but more than skimmed milk. It is a fluid, opaque white dairy milk with a mild, creamy flavour. It is commonly poured as a drink or used in cooking, baking, and hot drinks.

It is available chilled and in heat-treated forms, including long-life products. The degree of skimming and processing can vary by market and product, so the name alone does not establish an exact composition. Homogenized and non-homogenized versions may also differ in how cream is distributed.
