I’ve got some raw milk I just opened. It is perhaps 2 weeks old. It seems the same as always and I can’t notice any odor. But I just had to stop eating my cereal because of a funny flavor. Is it just that it’s a different brand? Does raw milk smell sour in the same way pasteurized milk does? And the cereal could be the issue; I’m choking down Ezekial with some xylitol on it and they didn’t have the raisin one so I have almond. Not at all yummy. Much like cardboard. But at least it’s got sprouted grains. So I wonder if I’ve just done my body good or I’ll be barfing later!

[...] How long does raw milk keep? [...]
Dear Thinking Woman
If the milk is produced clean from healthy cows and healthy udders 2 weeks should be good. We have done tests and were able to keep the milk for 3 weeks. Raw milk does not become rotten like pasteurized milk. It has still enough lactic acis bacterias to turn milk sour. Use the curdled milk for baking or on hot potatoes.
All the best to you

Michael, thank you so much! I’ve still got 2 quarts unopened that are probably two weeks old (for some reason, there are no dates so I will start putting them myself). It is reassuring to know the milk is still useful if curdled. Feel free to post any links to related articles/websites/recipes!
