Tag: Unhomogenised

Made by a cooperative of British farmers since 1954, gold top milk is a rich, premium dairy product sourced from Jersey and Guernsey cows, distinct from standard milk due to its higher fat content. Its name originates from the golden cream that traditionally rises to the surface of unhomogenised milk, sealed with a gold-colored foil cap.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, between 1998 and 2018, there were 202 outbreaks linked to drinking raw (unpasteurized) milk, resulting in 2,645 illnesses. These two terms, unhomogenised and unpasteurized, refer to distinct processes and have very different implications for a dairy product's safety and physical properties.
