Unpasteurized raw milk, a nutrient-rich dairy beverage, requires careful handling and storage to maintain its freshness and safety. Proper refrigeration is paramount to slow down bacterial growth and preserve its delicate flavor profile.
Storage Time
Consume within 3–5 days of purchase; do not store for extended periods.
Temperature
Keep raw milk refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F) at all times.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off smell, distinctly different from its natural milky aroma.
- Visible curdling or clumping of the milk, indicating bacterial activity.
- A change in color, such as a yellowish tint or the presence of mold.
