wow! raw milk is really good! :)

[aztraea]

Ok, so, duh But I had never had it before and bought some today. DH and I did a side-by-side taste test of it with our regular Organic Valley whole milk and, wow, what a difference! I haven't been fond of milk EVER and rarely drink it - and never without chocolate added There is no sour aftertaste with the raw and it was so yummy sweet! yay

[Sundance_11]

Yay! I am happy for you.
We got ours today. We haven't had any in about a month, due to travelling, and our drop-off being closed over Christmas. It's so wonderful to have it again.
I hope you are able to enjoy your milk from now on!!!

It is so delicious! It's like a thinner milkshake to me. Yum!

It is awsome, I can't wait until we can afford it again

[onetrumpeter]

funny - for us, while I still like it, it's been mostly b/c I tell myself this is live, real milk, unlike the pasteurized, homogenized, non-organic milk we still buy and use here and there, which for some reason is very easy (almost easier?!) on my palate. I have had raw milk from two different farms, and felt the same way about both, but do perhaps like our new farm better (OK, we only had 2 gal ever from the first farm, lol!) but I do like it. It's funny how it starts to change flavor over the course of the week - we try to drink or culture it all before the week's up.

I agree! We don't drink milk that often so I am always pleasantly surprised when I taste it again. I think DP has gotten tired of me saying in awe "it's just so CREAMY! here, have some, have some!"

[BeagleMommy]

I feel the same way! Mom used to bribe me as a kid to drink milk by adding sugar! After Mom stopped bribing me to drink milk as a kid, I never drank milk at all until I was pregnant with my first and tried raw milk for the first time. The difference is unbelievable to me!
When pregnant, I was drinking over a gallon a day!
Enjoy!

Yes! I can't seem to shut up about how GOOD it is and DH is like, uh huh, yeah, it's good.........

[Brown Lioness]

Here, here! lol

To me pasteurized milk has this always putrid/sour after taste, like when i took in a mouthful, it has a horribley off finishing taste whereas raw milk is creamy and lovely with a clean taste. I love it!

Cheers!

Huh, darn. I've only tried it once, but that's because when I got some it tasted like... a cow. Like I was licking a cow. I was so sad and disappointed. I want to try it again but hate to pay that much for a gallon of ...cow...that no one will drink.

I must confess, I really love a glass of raw milk with a teaspoon of brown sugar or a little maple syrup in it. Not the healthiest, but it tastes SO good - better than chocolate milk, even!

We just got raw milk for the first time in a month or two, and I was surprised anew by the creaminess of it. Yum. I meant to try making yoghurt or cottage cheese with it, but we drank it all!

[ginnybee]

Yum! My kids can tell the difference. When our coop is out of raw milk (or our budget is busted), I buy the organic pasturized milk. Isaac, 4, says "I want the good milk in the skinny bottles." My almost-2 year old rejected chocolate milk over the weekend (I thought I was making her a treat) and said "I just want white milk." That's how good it is.

Me too. I felt the same way. I can get local non-rbgh but pasteurised milk at our local grocery and it tastes way better than the store brand though. I got so excited when our bulk foods store got raw milk, I bought some. It tasted like chewing grass.

I really love raw milk.

I bought raw quiefer (sp?) instead this time (and I'm glad I did becuase I had a tooth infection and had to take abx, so I really needed the probiotics)....it just tastes like yogert. Not as fun! Next trip to WF I'm going to snag some raw milk for sure.

[Mama~Love]

I love raw milk too. DH thinks the cream in it is poison though, and he'll only drink it if I skim it for him. He thinks I'll kill myself if I keep drinking whole milk.

Oh, I LOVE raw milk! It is delicious!!! Our milk is from Jersey cows so it is super creamy. My 6 yo dd now refuses to drink "regular" milk (organic, whole, if we run out) and says it tastes yucky. And will loudly tell anyone around that we drink raw milk. (This is the same child who would tell people she still did "nurnee" when she was 5 yo but was going to stop soon....) Guess she's my picky milk girl!
