Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 In addition to your question, , I thought I would add this. I bought some raw cheddar and goats milk cheese at Whole Earth Market. I thought both cheeses were too strong. I like very mild cheeses, like Monterey Jack, Colby and mild cheddar. Does anyone know of a source of raw cheeses that are very mild?

I got some Longhorn Cheddar raw cheese from Sonnet Farms that, I think, tastes good. I have gotten one brand that I did not like, but I can't remember the brand name. I have also had another brand of raw cheese that was good. I don't remember the brand name for that one either. I'll let you know went I get it next.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 We've been eating raw sharp cheddar from Organic Valley (www.organicvalley.com) from Wisconsin, which I can get at our co-op. We like it a lot.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 , the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op has a bunch of different brands of raw cheese, and some of them are mild in flavor. I don't remember the brand names, we prefer the stronger-flavored kinds like Meadow Creek so I tend not to buy the mild ones again. You are in this general area, right? They have the best selection of raw cheeses of any store around here I've found. Aubin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask them, they'll send you a document explaining it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 Yes, they do heat the milk. The are following certain restrictions I think legally? Someone else may know more. My parents sell their milk through Organic Valley. They heat it to just under the temp of being pasturized and they are only allowed to do this with certain types of cheeses. Grace, a Augustine I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

As far as I know, raw, unheated cheeses are legal as long as they've been aged for sixty days or longer. I assume that OV heats the milk to eliminate competing bacteria, much like most people do with yogurt. -- Berg bberg@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't really say why they give it this heat treatment, but say their raw milk cheeses contain milk enzymes not present in pasteurized cheese. Kris Raw Milk Cheese - FAQ's What is Raw Milk Cheese? Legally, any milk that is not pasteurized is considered raw milk. The milk used to produce Organic Valley Raw Milk Cheese is not heated to pasteurization temperatures. What is Pasteurization? Pasteurization of milk occurs when the milk is heated for a specified time at a specific temperature, which results in the legally mandated bacterial elimination. Organic Valley pasteurized milk products are heated to 161.5° F for 15 seconds. This partial sterilization destroys most disease-producing microorganisms, and limits fermentation of the milk. Naturally occurring enzymes and proteins are affected as well as the unwanted bacteria. What are the Benefits of Organic Valley Raw Milk Cheese? Since we do not heat our milk to pasteurization temperatures, the resulting minimally processed raw milk cheeses contain milk enzymes not present in pasteurized cheese. We test our raw milk cheeses to verify the presence of phosphatase milk enzymes very sensitive to pasteurization temperatures and distinguished by their activity in bone formation. Is Organic Valley Raw Milk Cheese Safe for My Children and Me? The milk used to make our raw milk cheese is " heat-treated " meaning it is brought to the threshold of pasteurization without actually being pasteurized (155° for 15 seconds). In addition, legally we must hold all raw milk cheeses for 60 days before sale. If there was any problem with unwanted bacteria, the cheese would be visually undesirable after this waiting period. To assure our customers safe, high quality dairy products, we maintain low bacteria counts on the farm. Organic Valley also has a complete testing program on all our products, verifying that there is no E. coli, coliform bacteria or yeast and mold present. All of our products are produced and packaged in licensed and organically certified food processing facilities. Since raw milk cheeses have more enzyme activity than pasteurized cheeses, we recommend feeding raw milk cheeses to children over the age of 2 years. Phone: 608-625-2602 · Fax 608-625-2600 · 507 W.
