I don't find pasteurization to make as much of a difference as other things like fat content. Whole milk is sooo much better than skim milk, for example.
I love milk and since moving to California I haven't been able to find anything nearly as good as what we had in Boston. There was this brand High Lawn Farms that had tangibly better milk. You could even notice the difference when used in small amounts in tea/coffee, which is probably why every single local coffee shop used it. Someone should figure out what they are doing differently.
- mastazi 10y agoAre you comparing untreated vs pasteurized milk, or pasteurized vs. UHT? The article is mainly about the latter.
- ghaff 10y agoA commercial producer like the one listed is still selling pasteurized product. I do like to buy from a couple of small local producers when it's convenient but I'm not sure I could identify in a blind test. The availability of raw milk varies by state and is often only available for purchase on the farm that produces it or otherwise outside of normal retail channels.
- altano 10y agoI'm just speaking to my experience with all different kinds of milk. I don't think I've ever had completely unpasteurized milk (is that legal in the US?), so every other kind.
- njk510 10y agoLooks like they have only Jersey cows that make milk with higher fat content and also primarily with A2 beta casein. There is a brand here in California called Saint Benoit creamery which you can find at Whole Foods.
- jordanthoms 10y agoOne of the nice things being back in New Zealand is the quality of the milk here - maybe it's just because I grew up drinking it, but it tastes vastly better to me. It has a much fuller flavour than anything I found in California - could be because all the cows here are grass-fed? UHT is available here but for most people it's emergency use only.
- makmanalp 10y agoAs a person sensitive to the taste of milk (am I the only adult who just drinks it in a glass as opposed to putting it in other stuff?), I can also vouch for High Lawn - it's delicious. I don't really milk often, but when I do, I have no problem splurging for the good stuff.
- mathw 10y agoI drink loads of the stuff! Gorgeous. So happy about adult lactose tolerance genes and how I've got them.
