The Real Thing

One of the benefits of moving to PA is the availability of raw milk. I have to admit that I approach this subject with some trepidation. People talk about how wonderful raw milk is, how good it tastes. To be honest I wonder. I've had milk from organic grass fed cows that was rather unpalatable. Not that it tasted bad exactly. It simply tasted like cheese. It's flavor was grassy and well, of the barnyard, in a pretty intense way. Now these tastes are admirable, even coveted, in my cheese, but in my glass or my pudding, not so much. Nevertheless we picked up some raw milk to taste and play with. We're hoping for something wonderful.
