What it is

Culture pasteurized milk is milk that has been heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time to kill harmful bacteria, and then has had beneficial bacterial cultures added. These cultures, often from the same bacterial families used in yogurt or cheese production, help develop flavor and texture.
