Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Fresh, raw goats milk (or cows milk), if you can find it, will probably give you a superior yogurt. The taste can sort of vary, depending on what variety of goats they are, and what they are being fed (sometimes varies depending on the time of year). You will still have to heat it to 180 degrees F in the process of making your yogurt, so it will essentially get pasteurized, but having only been heated once, there's less chance for damage to delicate proteins in your end result. If you've ever made yogurt from the widely available Meyenberg milk that's most often found in local grocery stores, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the difference in taste, smell and texture (it will be thicker) when starting with fresh, raw, local milk! My personal favorite when it comes to goat milk is that which comes from Nubian goats... their milk is very rich and has a good flavor.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have used both raw goat and cow milk and they work great. They both will work. I was " allergic " to dairy but can have the raw milk yogurts. -- [Norton AntiSpam] yougurt question Has anyone used raw goats milk or raw milk when making yougurt?

Remeber it is brought toi the simmer stage anyhow to kill bacteria in making yogurt. Where I live, (in Ontario, Canada) it is illegal for farmers to sell raw milk to the public as there are serious health risks if it isn't pristine. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 the difference that I have noticed is that it is much thinner yogurt then regular milk that has been paseurized and homogenized already.
