We spend just three months a year in Spain and on this trip we have noticed that Mercadona have changed their milk to a cardboard carton type. This milk is labelled Fresca but the dates on the cartons show a three week shelf life. It seems to be a sort of hybrid UHT/ pastuarised type . Anyway it disagrees violantly with me. Other supermarket "fresh" types seem fine. I suppose it saves Mercadona a lot of money if they can keep this "fresh" milk on the shelves for a few weeks, but its not "Fresh" in the normal meaning of the word. In France, and I think the UK,  "fresh" milk has a shelf life of less than a week.  

I just hope this is not a trend that will be followed by other supermarkets here.
