    True, but generally they ALSO skim the fat right before/during. You don’t have to though

        “whole milk” is often skimmed, or occasionally, added to to make it fit in a certain legally defined bandwidth of fat content. It’s not unmodified.

        Also, homogenization absolutely changes the texture of the milk. That is in fact part of the point, making sure nobody gets the crappy milk. Some people prefer it, some don’t, it’s a personal taste thing.

        Whole milk doesn’t mean “all of the milk fat”. I believe it’s something like 3.25%.

        Are you thinking of heavy cream?
