Ultra-pasteurized vs.
Traditional Pasteurized: What's the Difference? |
 |
When you go to your local market to purchase milk products you'll see most items are "ultra-pasteurized" and The Farmer's Cow is not. Why and what's the difference?
Ultra-pasteurized products are processed at a extremely high temperatures. This results in a milk and cream that will last longer on the supermarket shelf. But the ultra-high temperature also causes the milk products to lose a lot of their natural flavor. In fact some professional chefs say ultra-pasteurized products are "un-milk like." Not words we want associated with The Farmer's Cow!
Our milk & cream products are pasteurized the traditional way at much lower temperatures (at least 165F for 20 seconds). This is just enough to kill any harmful bacteria and yet still allow the milk to retain it's farm-fresh flavor and unchanged natural proteins.
This is one case where "ultra" doesn't necessarily mean better. |
