Raw Milk Cheese

Bunker Hill Cheese Raw Milk Cheese is produced without pasteurization. Our Raw Milk cheese has a stronger richer flavor profile and is our fastest-growing product line. Also, it is continually a source of interest among cheese lovers. We’re proud to present this flavorful non-pasteurized milk cheese as a new option.

In an effort to supply our consumers with an option of choosing either pasteurized or unpasteurized cheese, we have made available our Raw Milk Cheddar Cheese. So we produce our Raw Milk Cheddar according to the FDA Code of Federal Regulations 21CFR133.113. Also, as stated in the regulations, any cheddar cheese that is manufactured without the aid of pasteurization must be stored at a temperature of not less than 35° F for a minimum of 60 days.

How Raw Milk Cheese Works

Increasing the lactic acid present in the cheese helps in the destruction and protects the cheese from the growth of unwanted bacteria that was not eliminated in the pasteurization process. The Ohio Department of Agriculture monitors our storage practices. So, this is to assure the consumer that our Raw Milk Cheddar is indeed aged for the required 60 days. Our cheese is made with you in mind, so know that each piece you eat is specially made.

We at Bunker Hill Cheese want our customers to be as informed about our products as possible. Constantly, we pride ourselves in our cheese and the fact that our milk comes from local farms. We hope the above information will help you make an informed decision in choosing the cheese of your choice.
