nonpasteurized

Skipped the heating

Nonpasteurized describes food or drink, especially milk and dairy products, that has not undergone pasteurization—the heat treatment process that kills harmful bacteria and extends shelf life.

Nonpasteurized milk, often called raw milk, retains more of its natural enzymes and bacteria, which some believe offers health benefits, though it carries greater risk of foodborne illness.

The cheese was made from nonpasteurized milk.

Sale of nonpasteurized dairy products is restricted or prohibited in many jurisdictions.
