I buy real milk every week. Because of ebb and flow in consumption we are often drinking 2 week old milk.
IF the real milk starts to sour it is still fine for you to drink; even healthier. It has just started to become more like yogurt or cheese.
If the adulterated (pasteurized) milk from the store starts turning/going bad it actually becomes a food like product that is very unhealthy for you to consume.
Here’s a tip for any kind of milk- Bring it home. Transfer it into 1 quart pre cooled glass jars. Fill to the brim. Cap it. Consume one quart at a time. Helps greatly with freshness. All types of milk have “enemies” like oxygen, light, warmth.
My Grandma used to make sour milk pancakes. Oh my goodness were they delicious. Epic battles for every six pancakes that came off the griddle. She would make about 100 pancakes for Sunday breakfast.
She certainly was! And we had whole milk, fresh from the family cows. I still remember the barn cats lining up and Grandma shooting milk straight from the tit into their mouths. And she never missed.
I buy a two to three weeks supply at each visit to the dairy and freeze the excess but there is a slight deterioration in quality upon thawing. It is still better than the pasteurized milk. I like your idea of using pre cooled and sealed glass jars to extend the shelf life and am going to try it. I remember years ago when my mother allowed the milk to clabber and used it for cooking, especially for baking. My older brother liked to eat the clabber but I wasn't as adventurous as him.
I noticed that guacamole lasts longer in glass containers. Im going to try your recommendation.
Only caveat is you are opening the milk to pour which exposes it to the air again. I've been squeezing the plastic containers to remove excess air as it gets drank.
I’m not sure what the “shelf life problem” is.

I see. Thanks for clarifying. Now my concern is else with adulterated milk. But a milk man commiting adultery
