Most regularly packaged milks are NOT UHT treated-- that is "Ultra-High Temperature." Much like Pasteurization or autoclaving, this sterilization treatment significantly extends the life of the product by increasing the time it takes for bacteria to grow in significant quantities in the milk (the bacteria is what makes a warm bottle of milk "go bad"). The difference is these do not require refrigeration to prevent spoilage. These are bottled to be portable and durable, not just consumption. We use them for our daughter's lunches, trips, and general snacks.
It is true at $1.22 per bottle, the cost is ~20 cents higher than you can get at other locations--i.e., the cases are ~$16 at Costco. Still, for those of us that live in remote/rural locations-- it's a really good deal for doorstep delivery.
