German term

Rahmmilch

German to English Marketing Food & Drink
The text is about lactose-free chocolate, and in this case they've taken the lactose from 'Rahmmilch' and broken it down into galactose and glucose. My best guess is 'milk cream'. Any ideas?

Agree with Barbara. As a child we also had milk with thick cream on top but it certainly wasn't raw milk; it was pasteurised but not homogenised or skimmed.
barbarameyer Sep 20, 2015:
@ Elisabeth Moser If Rahmmilch --> raw milk, then the sentence Wir trennen die Milch in entrahmte Milch und Rahmmilch trennen (that comes up in in my earlier discussion post) won't make any sense.
Elisabeth Moser Sep 20, 2015:
we call it raw milk and you can purchase it at Earth Fare - after a day or two you have cream on top of the milk container - just like we got it from the farmer, when I was a kid and you can take the cream on top and make heavy cream or butter
Elisabeth Moser Sep 20, 2015:
to barbara meyer das ist schon richtig - aber hättest du weiter gelesen (link) dann hättest due die Definition Rahmmilch gefunden - nämlich die, wo sich der Rahm oben absetzt, d.h. frische, nicht pasteurisierte Milch direkt vom Bauern!
barbarameyer Sep 18, 2015:
@ Elisabeth Moser The question term is not Rahm, but Rahmmilch.

Wendy Streitparth Sep 17, 2015:
@ phil: as I understand it they are talking about entrahmte Milch and normal (whole milk) with Rahm, the latter having too high a fat content for making the specific cheese. Therefore Rahmmilch is added to the entrahmte Milch until the required fat content is reached. But, like you, I maybe wrong!
philgoddard Sep 17, 2015:
I may be wrong But I'm not 100% convinced that it means whole or fullcream milk. Barbara's reference suggests that it's a component of raw milk, and the fact that Rahmmilch gets virtually no relevant hits makes me suspicious.
barbarameyer Sep 17, 2015:
Vollmilch ≠ Rahmmilch, oder? Wir trennen die Milch in entrahmte Milch und Rahmmilch trennen. Die entrahmte Milch füllen wir mit Vollmilch auf, bis der richtige Fettgehalt erreicht ist. So entsteht Käsemilch.

PERHAPS raw milk, the dics are useless today. Another (faint) idea is condensed milk, but I seriously doubt that, as it is already processed.

Hi Ramey,

Ah yes, I should have mentioned -- it's almost certainly Swiss German!

milk with (=containing) cream

Wir trennen die Milch in entrahmte Milch und Rahmmilch. Die entrahmte Milch füllen wir mit Vollmilch auf, bis der richtige Fettgehalt erreicht ist. So entsteht Käsemilch.
http://www.frico.de/mobile/kaaskunst/die-herstellung/

From the above, it seems that Vollmilch ≠ Rahmmilch.

My reading of entrahmte Milch would be 'milk without cream' and Rahmmilch 'milk with cream'. Milk is categorized into full-cream milk (= whole milk), standardized milk, toned milk, double toned milk, and skimmed milk. The first 4 categories denote 'milk with cream', and each of the 4 categories corresponds to a certain cream content in milk.

Ergo, the term 'milk with cream' (Rahmmilch) would include the first 4 categories (viz. full-cream or whole milk, standardized milk, toned milk, double toned milk) and, at the same time, distinguish it from 'milk without cream' --> skimmed milk.

Cream

Hi there, as far as i know it is the cream that settles up on top of the milk, when you leave the milk to settle.
We also say fetthaltige Phase der Milch in German. I provided two links, that might help you!

full-cream milk

IMO it's the same as Voll(fett)milch, US full-fat milk

agree Eleanore Strauss : Exactly, although in the US for example, that designation does not exist - in the US it's whole milk

agree Daniel Arnold (X) : I know full-cream milk from Australia.

agree Sibila T : "full-cream" seems to be the Australian version, "whole" is US, just from a quick google search, but if you go to the supermarket here in Australia, you buy just "Milk". Watch this ad for a laugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QphMaa4wxI
