Powdered Whole Milk?

Sidenote: I stock powdered and UHT milk for emergencies. I mean what could happen? There are cows nearby. ;) Powdered milk in an unopened package may keep for 10 years, and unopened UHT milk can last up to a year. Powdered milk saves space. I just checked my stockpile. I have ten quarts of UHT milk and I have 10 boxes with 18 powdered milk packets that make 8 oz each.
 
If your getting it just so its shelf stable - try Parmalat or other UHT milk. I keep a couple around in case we need milk for something and were out of the real stuff, although I guess technically its real enough.

Drank powdered milk as a kid when the real stuff ran out. Mom only went to "town" once a week for shopping. Sometimes it stretched to 2 weeks.
 
Went all in on this. No stank at all. Taste excellent and acceptable.

Need to stir well in coffee because supposed to dissolve in water first

So the stench of powdered milk is not from the fat content.
It could be if fat is rancid to start or just cooked and oxidized, maybe one in the same. I imagine starting with fresh milk might be best!

This has a very very mild aroma, maybe of slightly warm clean milk. But not sharp. I bought it from the big Amazon based on the fewest stench complaints. Most complaints on this one were solubility.
 
No frunky fravor!!
Not to go off-topic but I must share my idea for powdered Chinese food. The chicken version:

Chicken skin and carcass scrapings
chicken butts
peanut oil
sesame seeds
a few peas
garlic
chili peppers
overcooked broccoli
wonton wrappers
rice
extra starch (modified)
egg
soy sauce
Hoisin sauce
vinegar
MSG
sugar
extra salt
propylene glycol, BHA, BHT, TBHQ, nitrite, citric acid, formaldehyde, senna, and loperamide (Be prepared for both potential outcomes)


Purred, freeze-dried, and hygienically packaged in convenient single-use bowls. Add water and nuke. Stir, let congeal, enjoy! I hope @AutoMechanic won't see this post. He'll get too excited with the joy of anticipation.

one the FEW perks of living in Pa is the best milk is legal + pretty easy to get, of course thats RAW full fat milk!! about 30 years ago after reading about DEAD milk on Weston Price foundation + how toxic it IS i found a close source on their list of A2 A2 raw milk + have been enjoying it daily ever since, a gal a week down from 1.5 gal, gotta start slowly until you acclimate to its live healthy bacteria. it lasts about 10 days BUT sour milk can be used otherwise, factory farmed milk like many foods today are TOXIC + likely where many CANCERS come from!!

My folk's neighbor has a Jersey cow and need occasional help with chores, so they have a steady supply of the best, most amazing milk and cream... except my dad grew up on a farm without refrigeration and learned at a very young age to hate milk. It's like pearls cast before swine. They do make super quality butter from the cream and the buttermilk biscuits and pancakes are the bomb, too.
 
Dairy products from different places tend to have different aroma and flavors. Maybe not in the US as we standardized on our industrial farm and feeds, but in other places like New Zealand, Netherland, Japan, etc make and break the dish / drink you make it with.

If you think one brand of powdered milk stink, try another brand.
