In the event of a breakdown in the disease-free-status of your herd, all produce made with raw milk must be recalled and destroyed. No compensation, not even a cup of tea and sympathy! In a country where there is much testing you may sooner or later have this experience. <br /><br />Small scale pasteurisation is simply carried out, in the cheese tank, by running hot water through the jacket. The milk is heated to 63c, held there for 30 minutes, cooled to the normal starter temperature, and cheesemaking proceeds as usual. This is only feasible with quantities of milk up to about 1,500 litres. The positive aspect is that it does no great damage to the nutritional value or to the bioavailability of the minerals in the milk and cheese. It does involve the use of a thermometer, but the great revolution does not involve keeping cheesemakers in total darkness.Veronica Steelenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807160081351778617.post-33265872116021608162010-05-21T10:22:09.986-07:002010-05-21T10:22:09.986-07:00This is awesome.

And I am glad to know that after the revolution, we'll still be able to get good cheese.<br /><br />"This late capitalist model prefers fancy over local..... this marketization would destroy small local cheese farms in our counties. Giving way to a foodie market that rather consumes fancy food from factories bought at high-end markets than local productions from farmers and mongers."
