sugar so concentrated it refuses to spoil, basically dairy that learned immortality
means Cow's milk with most of its water removed and a great deal of sugar added, producing a thick, sweet, shelf-stable liquid used in cooking and desserts.
from From Latin "condensare," to thicken or compress (from "densus," dense) — the same root behind "condense" in physics. The product itself dates to the mid-19th century, when Gail Borden patented a method of evaporating milk under vacuum; the heavy sugar dose was the trick that let it survive long voyages and long shelves, hence the name: milk made dense, milk made to last.
