I think we can go a lot further.

Common milk producers:

Cow

Bison

Goat

Sheep

Horse

Yak

Reindeer

Common milk types:

Evaporated

Condensed

Powdered

Whole

2%

1%

Skim

By my count, we should be able to do at least cuarenta y nueve leches. Are we even trying?

    Are you?

    If we count whole, 2%, 1%, and skim as 4 distinct leches, what’s to stop us from creating a gradient of leches ranging from 0% to 3.25% milk fat?

    That's a good point. It seems to be an infinite series that should converge on one value of leche. If we solve for that, we should be able to make the ultimate torta de leche, which, paradoxically, is made with only one supreme leche.

    What about condensed milk or powdered milk? Do they count as distinct leches as well?

    I didn't want to show my hand, but off the record, I've experimented with Norwegian beaver milk and Mongolian camel milk to achieve in vitro samples of sesenta y tres leches. Admittedly, it's highly unstable and there have been casualties. Such is the price of progress.
