FAQ

Can I freeze milk in a glass bottle?

The biggest danger when it comes to freezing milk is that it expands. For this reason you should never freeze it in a glass bottle because it will crack. Giving the carton extra space in the freezer also caters for this expansion, and stops it getting wedged in the freezer.

Is it better to freeze milk in plastic or glass?

If your milk comes in a glass or cardboard container, you’ll want to transfer it into a freezer-safe plastic container before you freeze it. Milk will expand when frozen, causing glass or cardboard to break — and you don’t want that mess in your freezer.

Can I freeze raw milk in glass?

You can freeze Raw Milk in the plastic jug it comes in or in a glass jar.
