we have a small dairy farm. We sell milk to a company which pausterizes milk soon. BUT
we have in the past made cheese for illegal exporters of cheese, and they require it be made of unpausterized milk. Apparently, they can't get enough unpausterized cheese in their country, so they habe to smuggle it. They can't disclose neither the cheese origin nor its nature; the consumers do taste tje difference.
Similarly, my father prefers the taste of unpausterized milk cuajada (non compact cheese) He says pausterized milk loses most of its flavor.
For the record. I prefer pausterized milk; I also notice the difference.
It makes a little more sense for cheese as a cultured product.
