About Carnation
Carnation was established in 1899 and acquired by Nestle in 1985. It is the best-selling evaporated milk brand in the United States by total dollar sales. Carnation Evaporated Milk is made from fresh, Grade A milk with approximately 60% of the water content removed through a gentle evaporation process. The result is a concentrated, shelf-stable milk product with a slightly richer flavor and creamier texture than regular milk. It is a foundational ingredient in American baking and cooking, most famously used in the classic Libby's Pumpkin Pie recipe printed on Libby's cans — which calls for Carnation Evaporated Milk.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between evaporated milk and condensed milk?
- Both are concentrated canned milk products, but they differ in one key way: sweetened condensed milk has a large amount of sugar added (typically 40-45% sugar by weight), making it thick, sweet, and syrupy. Evaporated milk has no added sugar and is unsweetened — it is simply concentrated milk. They are not interchangeable in recipes. Carnation Evaporated Milk is unsweetened; Carnation also makes a sweetened condensed milk product sold separately.
- Can I use evaporated milk as a substitute for regular milk?
- Yes. To substitute evaporated milk for regular whole milk, mix one part evaporated milk with one part water. This restores the original water content and produces a liquid with a similar consistency to whole milk. Undiluted evaporated milk can also be used as a substitute for heavy cream in many recipes, providing richness with less fat.
- Does evaporated milk need to be refrigerated?
- Unopened cans of Carnation Evaporated Milk are shelf-stable and do not require refrigeration. Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer any unused evaporated milk to an airtight container and refrigerate. Use within 3-5 days of opening. Do not freeze evaporated milk as it may separate upon thawing.
