unhomogenised

Cream still rises

Unhomogenised describes milk that hasn't undergone homogenisation—the process that breaks up fat globules so they stay suspended rather than separating.

Unhomogenised milk develops a layer of cream at the top: Shake the unhomogenised milk before pouring.

The spelling with -ized is American; -ised is British.
