Sign in to savecow's milk from which water has been removed
Condensed milk is cow's milk that has had most of its water removed, making it thick and concentrated. This process allows the milk to be stored longer and used in cooking and baking, or eaten as a sweet product on its own.

Encyclopedic overview
Condensed milk is cow's milk from which water has been removed (roughly 60% of it). It is most often found with sugar added, in the form of sweetened condensed milk, to the extent that the terms "condensed milk" and "sweetened condensed milk" are often used interchangeably today. Sweetened condensed milk is a very thick, sweet product, which when canned can last for years without refrigeration if not opened. The product is used in numerous dessert dishes in many countries.
A related product is evaporated milk, which has undergone a lengthier preservation process because it is not sweetened.
