That is the reason why lactose-free milk is sweeter without added sugar. Galactose and glucose together taste sweeter than lactose. Lactase is added to lactose-free milk, so the lactose is split before the milk is consumed.
People who lack this enzyme suffer from lactose intolerance. The disaccharide lactose in whole milk is split by the enzyme lactase in the gut into the two sugars galactose and glucose. Lactose-free milk and even vegan sorts of milk can also be frothed up and provide a sweeter latte macchiato without adding sugar. There are alternatives to milk for people with lactose intolerance or a vegan lifestyle who want to prepare and enjoy latte Macchiato. In Italy, part of the milk is often replaced by cream, which of course makes for a particularly rich foam. It is therefore worth using whole milk for latte macchiato, even though the foam with half-fat milk is still somewhat effective. Milk also contains galactose, a sugar responsible for its natural sweetness with little effect on insulin receptors. In addition, fat is a natural flavour enhancer, which means that the flavours of the espresso are boosted by a frothed milk with a higher fat content. The higher the fat and protein content of the milk, the more stable the foam becomes. The classic latte macchiato consists of two basic ingredients: a shot (25 – 30 ml) of hot espresso, and about 200 ml of warm, foamed milk. The way of serving varies from drink to drink - milk coffee is often drunk from large cups or even bowls. In Spain, Café con leche is very popular, which is espresso with milk approximately in equal parts. While the Caffè Latte only consists of hot espresso and scalded milk, the Caffè Macchiato also contains milk foam.Īustria, another big coffee nation in Europe, serves the Wiener Melange, which is German and French for Viennesa blend. From Italy come two close relatives of the latte macchiato, the Caffè Latte and the Caffè macchiato. In France, for example, people enjoy a Café au lait in the morning, which is half coffee and half milk. Although the basic ingredients remain the same, the different variations are an expression of regional coffee culture. The combination of coffee and milk enjoys unbroken popularity.
