raw cheese
Milk never boiled
Raw cheese is cheese made from unpasteurized milk—milk that hasn't been heat-treated to kill bacteria.
Advocates prize it for deeper, more complex flavors and traditional production methods: aged raw cheese from small European dairies.
In the U.S., raw cheese must be aged at least 60 days before sale, a regulation meant to reduce health risks while preserving artisanal cheesemaking.
