RE: Lurpak Butter

[Guest guest]

Pasteurized is almost always on the label, but sometimes it isn't. In most

states, it is illegal to sell unpasteurized dairy products except under

certain conditions, mostly (only?) cultured products that have been aged for

60 days or more. In effect, cheese is usually the only thing you can find

unpasteurized. There may well be unpasteurized cheese, but if it doesn't say

raw or at least " fresh " I wouldn't assume it. The best thing to do would be

ask the expert or most knowledgeable person there from the cheese department

of the store you are buying from. At Bread and Circus, where I do most of my

grocery shopping (whole foods chain), they label the raw cheese as raw for

the most part, and if it is ambiguous you can ask the cheese department

person.

If you can't figure it out at the store, you could write or call the company.

I wouldn't make any assumptions though.

Is raw milk saleable in Wisconsin? There are three states, California,

Connecticut, but I forget the other one.

" What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a

heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "

----->well, realmilk.com says it's commercially available in CA, CT and NM,

but they are omitting Maine, where it's also commercially avalailable. i can

and do buy it in any of the three natural foods stores i frequent in

midcoast and southern maine. it's from pastured/hay-fed/grain/fed goats and

cows. (all are pastured in season and supplemented with hay or grain or

both.)
