how long is sour milk okay?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I notice my raw milk is usually slightly sour (tangy) at about six days, but i have some that is 12-14 days old. I think it should be fine to use in cooking - is this right or is that too old?
I don't like the taste of cheese or yogurt made once the milk goes sour so once it goes sour whatever I can't use before the next batch goes sour gets wasted.
I get milk once a week and try to get only what I will use but some weeks it's hard to know ahead of time.

I freeze my raw milk in 1/2 gallon jars and it thaws beautifully but I haven't had mine taste sour even up to two weeks in the fridge. That said, I understand that it doesn't really go bad, just sour...so definitely cook with it.

I'm a fan of Weston A Price on FB and you post made me think a link they shared yesterday (make sure and read the comments):

My dh has drank (or more like eaten) 2 month old raw milk.

I don't care for the taste of sour milk, so once it hits that tangy stage, I use it for baking. I've used it past the 2 week mark (and at that point, it was pretty sour!), with very good results in stuff like pancakes, biscuits, muffins, bread, and whatnot. It all turns out really yummy with sour milk.
