raw milk

raw milk is milk sold before pasteurisation, and that makes it a product people usually approach for taste, tradition, or the idea of minimal processing. By our assessment, the appeal is its direct, fresh dairy character and the sense of getting milk in a less altered form than the supermarket standard. The drawback is not abstract: without pasteurisation, it carries a real food-safety risk compared with treated milk, so the category has always sat under closer caution. In practice it is more demanding than ordinary milk, because storage and handling matter much more, and the result can vary in ways that pasteurised milk does not. It stands apart from standard supermarket milk precisely because it does less to protect the consumer from microbial danger. For anyone who wants reliable everyday milk, the safer processed version is the clearer choice; for anyone chasing the raw-dairy idea, this is the product, and that is exactly its limit.
