What it is

This is milk that has been pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria and then aged for at least nine months. Pasteurization involves heating milk to a specific temperature for a set period. Aging allows the cheese to develop its characteristic flavor and texture.

Why it's used

It is primarily used as a key ingredient in the production of various types of cheese, especially hard and semi-hard varieties. The aging process contributes to the distinct taste and firmness of the final cheese product.

Health notes

Pasteurized milk is a common food ingredient in the US. Regulatory bodies like the FDA consider pasteurized milk safe for consumption. Major health organizations do not typically raise concerns about pasteurized milk when consumed as part of a balanced diet. International bodies such as JECFA have evaluated milk and dairy products.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with a milk allergy should avoid products containing this ingredient.
