    Isn’t that what they do? They skim all the milk and then put the fat in to various concentration?

      I think they just add water to bring down the fat content. All the other nutrients fall in proportion.

        No, they usually use a centrifuge to separe the fat (and i guess add it back in lesser quantities later)

            To give an higher quality product, simply doing what you suggested gives you a lower quality product (and i also wonder if it’s legal in europe?) You can also use the fat to do butter later
