  • Using Raw Milk

    Has anyone here used raw milk in there coffee to make lattes etc.

    Also does the taste/texturing differ ??

    I have found you can purchase it for "cosmetic" use in health food stores

    Re: Using Raw Milk

    Having parents with a Polish background and being brought up on a farm, I grew up on it. Has many health benefits, but also many people will find a reason to avoid it. Even today in Europe it is commonly available.
    I would be interested in your feedback, especially regarding taste. As a kid I did not mind it. I loved all the cheeses and yoghurts we made from it though.
    Good to see it is available, even if only for "cosmetic" purposes.

      I havent.
      Last time I used it was straight from the cow onto my weet-bix.
      I imagine it would texture differently, as the "full cream" milk you buy is definitely not the same as full cream from the cow.

        I tried it around 12 months ago now (Cleopatras). IMO its not worth the extra $$ (costs just under $8 for a 2lt bottle) for use with coffee.

        The texturing process effectively pasturises the milk, so you lose the benefit there.

        The flavour of the milk I find is unbeatable. I liken it to the difference between a lite-white vs full cream milk. It is a lot more yellow in appearance than regular full-cream milk.

        It used to be sold as pet milk years ago. Then they decided it wasnt even fit for pet consumption, so it had to be rebranded as cosmetic. The Cleopatras stuff is called "bath milk"... So go ahead and bathe your tastebuds in it

        If it were cheaper, Id buy it more regularly. For now, I only grab it on the odd occasion.

              $8 for 2 litres of milk. :exclamation
              Who is pocketing the profit in that sale? That certainly is some mark up even from supermarket milks.
              Price for our top quality milk out of the farm gate today 35 cents a litre.
              Wish we could share our raw milk with other C.S.s but strict laws prevent such. Our milk is rigouroulsy tested and laws are laws.
              Our raw milk always makes fantastic microfoam on our coffees. Coffees made with C.S. beans of course.

                Dear Herbie,
                I would like to purchase some of the raw white facial scrub milk that you guys produce on your dairy farm. Certainly not for internal consumption but you better pack it in a cold esky anyway so it doesnt go off.

                ;D

                  Dear Herbie,
                  I would like to purchase some of the raw white facial scrub milk that you guys produce on your dairy farm.  Certainly not for internal consumption but you better pack it in a cold esky anyway so it doesnt go off.
                  Bugger... If I could only trust the transport companies...  I would suggest my wife and daughter need to  support me in taking care of my skin and I would be doing the same...  Facial scrub for an ex smoker (bout  4.5 weeks clean) to see if some of the elasticity and condition can be recovered..

                  I hear that the grasses and other raw materials out Deniliquin way make for great results..

                  Due to the damage over the last 40 years.. I reckon I would need  between 20L and 25L of that scrub a week..  Is it still possible to get a 20L SS barrel ?  Bugger the bulk storage at my end is not up to scratch..  

                  Andy; I reckon your big fridges could manage it... Lucky bugger.

                  YEP... @ 35c The middle man sure does have some questions to answer :-X

                    I forgot to come back to this...

                    Herbie,

                    Given the local market here in Canberra sees most of the Cleopatras bath milk (I havent seen Aphrodites anywhere here yet) is pre-sold and you have a VERY slim chance of finding it on a shelf somewhere, one would have to assume that the demand is actually quite strong for the product.

                    According to this article back in 2007 Cleopatras were shipping 1000 litres a day of the stuff around Australia.

                    I have also considered going into a herdshare program with some others that enjoy raw milk. Id give some links, but the sites Im aware of seem to be having issues right now (hope they havent shut up shop)...

                    I suspect the dairy gets a bigger portion than 35c from the raw stuff. I believe that Cleopatra Dairy ended up installing their own bottling plant, so the amount of handling from teet-to-bottle is reduced further.

                      Not sure if this counts as raw milk, but Ive been using Over The Moon milk which is pasteurised but unhomogenised. The difference between this milk and normal milk is as you describe - like lite vs full cream. Give it a go - makes a God-shot latte/cap everytime. The milk is sold mainly direct from farm at selected growers markets around Sydney (Lilyfield, Frenchs Forest, Pyrmont, Castle Hill) as well as selected Harris Farm stores - Broadway springs to mind.

                        Raw milk is unpasteurised. Unprocessed as nature intended.
                        There are many companies around Australia selling pasteurised but unhomogenised milk. They pride themselves on their product which is usually of a very high standard and great flavour.
                        I believe the easiest way of obtaining raw milk at the moment is to take part in herdshare programs as stated above.

                          A good friend of mine owns a dairy here in the south east of S.A. and only the other day I tasted some, still warm, strait out the pre-vat pipe valve. First thought, YUM, second thought, whats it like in coffee?!?!?

                            So why didnt you try it in coffee?

                            That reminds me of a visit to my aunts place and trying some warm milk, straight out of the bucket; it had only been in the cow a few minutes earlier.
                            If you like warm milk on your cereal it saves heating it back up.
