Was it made from raw milk or pasteurized?

The label lists it as non-homogenized, but makes no reference to pasteurization. The butter is heated in order to make ghee, which would likely pasteurize the product if it wasn't already.

I emailed the company last year and they replied that they make it from raw milk.

I have no idea. As far as I know it's chemically synthesized in a lab. There must have been something organic as a raw material; but I don't know what that was.

Most milk sold in chain grocery stores in my area is ultra-pasteurized and cannot be used to make cheese. I find mine at specialty stores and farms.

About these particular nuts, I cannot comment. But for your general information and in answer to the comment by Leann McCamey: I am sorry to have to inform you that the FDA specifically allows steam-heat pasteurized almonds to be labeled "RAW" Yes, even though they are "cooked" by being pasteurized, the FDA allows (and perhaps encourages) the industry to continue to label them raw. The other method of "pasteurization" is fumigation by toxic gas (my memory is not screening up the chemical right now, just google for it) and those also are "raw", I am not sure how "organic" they are according to the USDA's definition of "organic". Of course none of this fits MY definition of safe, wholesome, raw or organic. About these particular nuts, I cannot comment.

I would think that would be the ideal way to use the culture. I could only find pasteurized milk that wasn't homogenized. I would have rather used the raw milk.

I make raw milk yogurt, and find that the cultures from Dairy Connection make the best yogurts. I use the ABY-2C culture for raw cow's and goat's milk, and for raw skim milk and it has a nice thick curd, without adding any powdered or processed milk. The culture stores well in the freezer, and I've gone three to four culturings out from the 'base' culture and found that the curd is still nice and thick.

It is extremely pasteurized. I don't think I've ever tasted anything like it.

I worry about the same thing. By law, almonds produced in the US have to be pasteurized. If they are not organic, you can count on them being chemically treated (and legally, they can still be called "raw" - what a joke!). Imported almonds, however, do not have to be pasteurized....

Only mixed with water & it wasn't clear, it looked like whole milk, maybe a little thicker consistency.

I just "Bing-ed" Ultra Pasturized. The simpe answer I found is the the "Ultra-pasturized" milk is the milk, on the open shelves, in a carton, that aren't refrigerated. A lot of sites say not t use this as the High heat/quick time pasturizing tends to prohibit the enzymes (in the milk) necessary for curdling. They all say to buy the milk from the dairy case. thekitchn.com was one of those sites

I would be very surprised if the almonds are pasteurized as that generally involves flash heating the food (my aunt and uncle had a dairy farm when I was young, so I've seen milk pasteurization). It's possible the almonds were pasteurized, but I think raw means raw, unheated, unpasteurized. You could experiment with 'nuking' them in the microwave if you're concerned about it.

On the bucket it says raw, pure. It dose not say pasteurized which is why it would be heated. I may be warmed to make it pourable but that is not so hot to kill the good enzymes.

I believe it has some milk solids in it, not sure about if it is kosher or not

We used store bought, but not store brand milk. Usually, the words "ultra-pasteurized" are on the label, but if you aren't sure, ask someone in the dairy department to help you. We bought a brand from a smaller, regional dairy.

They are not raw if they are pasteurized. So Amazon needs to be clear on this and not state they are raw or someone should sue them.

Most organic milk is ultra pasteurized. You can't use ultra pasteurized milk with this cheese. Actually the recipe tells you that the best milk is raw milk. Raw milk isn't readily available so you need to find the closest to it.
