Unfortunately, we do not keep that information on hand at the Whole Food Market offices. The best way to get the most complete answer regarding your pasteurization question is to reach out to Donnie at the Homestead Creamery directly. They have a Facebook page and are easy to reach by telephone. I've included that information below.

For those who arent fmailiar, homogenization breaks up the milkfat to make for a better consistency. However, this process has been shown to have negatives. I was glad to find homestead creamery (gold top) which is a non-homogenized product. That being said, why does Homestead Creamery choose to pasterurize at a temperature that is higher than needed? The reason why people are purchasing your milk is because its supposed to be as close to the real thing as allowed. I know it cant be raw milk in the state of VA, but I dont know that you can pasteurize at a lower temperature. The reason we go for your milk and snowville at least, is because it is not ultra pasteruized. Thanks! Ive been getting the Snowvile creamery milk because it is not homogenized.

It's been very disappointing that WF has not had it in stock the last few times I've been in. We really like this milk, and I'd so appreciate seeing it in the store on a consistent basis.

I have been attempting to reach out to our department heads as well as the Creamery itself and have not received a response yet. I would assume that the milk is pasteurized in accordance with industry standards. Again, I apologize for the lest than best response. @Margaret I apologize for the response delay.
