So, what is pasteurized whole milk?
Pasteurized whole milk is a nutrient-rich dairy product made by heating raw milk to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it to kill harmful bacteria. This process helps extend the shelf life of the milk while retaining its natural taste, texture, and nutritional value. Unlike skim or low-fat versions, whole milk contains all the naturally occurring fat, which adds richness and creaminess to recipes. Due to its pasteurization, it's safe for consumption without any risk of bacterial contamination, making it a popular ingredient in various culinary preparations, from baking to cooking.
