I've been wondering that myself since I started to buy Lactose-free milk for my husband - which, BTW - is really, really good!. It just seemed so odd that a dairy product would last so long - but it does, and it's as fresh and creamy as the day we opened it!.
From the best I could find on the Internet - without delving too deep - was that extended shelf life for milk and cream is achieved by using different methods of pasteurization or filtration!.
