How long does raw milk last after thawed

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

The only way I can get raw milk for a whole month is if I buy it frozen. It's

not the greatest to always have those little fat chunks floating in it all the

time (You can shake it enough to have it all mix in).. BUT, it tastes the same

and my son doesn't even notice them. Usually, I thaw 1/2 a gallon at a time and

that's gone in 2 days or so. I thawed out some yesterday to the point that the

ice chunks were very small. Anyone know how long the milk will last. I'm hoping

until Wednesday or so. Any chance of that?

Thanks.

HAPPY 2011!!!!

My 2011 resolution is to consume more animal fat and buttercream. hahaha. I

wonder what my friends on fb would think!!! LOL. Not that I care.

When I used to buy a month at a time, I found it lasted at least a week once

it was thawed. You can always put it in a blender or vitamix to help with

the last remaining ice chunks.

I wanted to put it in the blender, but someone told me it ruined the fat

molecules and took away their benefits. Can someone confirm or deny that?

Science helps convince me too. thank you!!!!

The dairy that produces the raw milk I buy says that " jostling " is very

hard on milk and will cause it to deteriorate quickly. The experience I

have with that is when I make butter. I shake the cream in a mason jar

til I get butter, and the " buttermilk " that's left behind (nothing at

all like cultured buttermilk you get at the grocery store) tastes and

smells exactly like normal milk immediately after the butter is formed.

But two days later it is grossly sour. Maybe that's a completely

different dynamic, but it kind of convinces me that putting raw milk in

a blender would damage it.

I suspect that putting milk through a blender would also be hard on the

probiotics and enzymes. In a nutshell, it's not natural. It seems an

awfully violent thing to do to something that's alive. When I make a

smoothie I always add the yogurt after the blender step for exactly that

reason.

So, as long as I'm shaking it in the jug just to get the fat and milk all mixed

up that should be fine, right? I don't do it for more than 10 seconds or so. Or

am I just ruining my milk? I have been doing this for a few months and it still

seems to keep... but we go through it pretty quickly.
