Raw Cheese

Sometimes cheeses are defined by if they have been made from Unpasteurized or Pasteurized milk. Unpasteurized, or raw, milk means that the milk has not been subjected to heat treatment before cheesemaking begins. The current regulations in the United States allow for the sale of cheeses made from unpasteurized milk if the cheese is aged for typically 60 days or more at a temperature greater than 35°F (2°C).
