If you've been reading along, you know that milk sold in supermarkets in Hawaii is shipped unrefrigerated and then re-pasteurized on arrival. I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to drink that stuff.

Costco has been carrying their own brand of organic milk for some time but it was 2% butterfat. We prefer non-fat. So probably do many of their health-conscious customers.

The other day we noticed--at the end of the refrigerated section, not with the rest of the milk in the Iwilei store--this 1% organic milk. Ok, we can live with this compromise.

So now there is a source of milk available that is shipped to Hawaii in refrigerated containers and is organic, meaning that it is supposed to be from cows untreated with hormones, and which has an acceptable fat content. Just to let you know.
