I've tried two varieties of biotech milk, both had a mouthfeel almost identical to normal milk. Unfortunately, both of the varieties I've tried have used sunflower seed oil for the fat and that gives the end product a noticeable raw sunflower seed flavor/bitterness which isn't very pleasant.
Surprising (and frustrating) that they didn't use a properly deodorized grade of oil. Do you mind sharing which products you tried? I'm curious
I don't recall the first one (I tried it sometime late last year) but the more recent one was from Tomorrow farms. Now that I think about it, I suppose there's a possibility they both were from the same company with different branding.
The good news is that the bitter sunflower flavor can be drowned out pretty handily using chocolate syrup (and as I mentioned it's texture is spot on), so despite my dissatisfaction with the milk on it's own, it makes a great chocolate milk.
