An interesting piece in the New York Times focuses on the raw milk underground. The FDA mandates that all milk sold interstate be unpasteurized, which raw milk partisans claims makes it less flavorful and nutritious. According to a raw milk fan:
“Some drink it for the same reason raw milk cheeses are popular: the taste. “I first discovered it two summers ago in France,” said Mr. Milgrom-Elcott, who is pursuing a doctorate in medieval Jewish mysticism at New York University.”“There is a richness and density unlike processed milk, plus there’s this complexity of flavor.”
But here in Pennsylvania, we’re lucky. PA residents are legally allowed to purchase raw milk at a number of dairies throughout the state. Some of them are even close to Philly in Bucks County, Chester County, Easton and Lancaster County. They’re so good that black market raw milk types from New York and DC come up here to purchase their milk. But for us, it’s all legal. Kind of nice that way.
