Several years ago I had raw milk on a farm and it tasted incredible. I imagine that has more to do with the fact that that it gone from cow to mouth in about 30 second than with pasturization, right?
- No. The way milk get pasteurized is for speed and volume. They heat it up higher for a short amount of time to kill the baddies (and flavor). There is a slower process without as much heat and that saves some flavor, but big companies don't use it.
