unpasteurised raw milk

Unpasteurised raw milk cheese arguably retains more of its natural flavours and beneficial bacteria compared to pasteurised cheese. The process of pasteurisation involves heating milk to kill potentially harmful bacteria, but it can also destroy some of the natural enzymes and bacteria that contribute to the cheese’s flavor profile and potential health benefits.

Advocates suggest that raw milk cheeses may contain a more diverse array of beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and nutrients, which some believe could aid in digestion and support a healthy immune system. Some studies suggest that certain enzymes and bacteria present in raw milk products could have positive effects on gut health and might even help individuals with certain intolerances or allergies to dairy.
