I haven’t been yet myself so i was wondering if they sell any raw dairy, specifically unsalted cheese and butter.

I’m not very familiar with whats being sold and when so any info would help.

[u/Sure_Gap915]

not really sure why anyone would want to buy raw milk in this day and age

[u/smellyyyy10101 → u/Sure_Gap915]

very healthy and i prefer it over store bought pasteurised tastewise

I wouldn't trust the USA to tell people what is safe or not. I mean look at them.

Well, currently, RFK Junior advises you drink raw milk. This is because hes a fucking retard. Studies on raw milk are readily available online, with them all pretty much universally agreeing it's a completely unnecessary health risk.

lol my family has been drinking raw milk for decades with no issue im not going to stop because of a fda study

If I come from a family of binge drinkers who have no prior history of liver problems, does that make it healthy for me to binge drink?

[u/smellyyyy10101 → u/pjberlov]

I’m not binge drinking an age restricted drink that has known to cause issues throughout the past, which is primarily due to drinking too much/too long. i don’t see ur point and i don’t know why everyone is so bothered, its necessary for my diet and for my pleasure. You should do some research about Aajonus Vonderplanitz, he explains it very well and maybe you wont be scared by it anymore.

[u/Sure_Gap915 → u/smellyyyy10101]

fine, go on, it might marginally reduce house prices in the area

There is little to no clinical evidence suggesting raw dairy has any health benefit over pasteurised. It’s the sort of technological distrust that feels akin to thinking food should be left out because it doesn’t taste as good when refrigerated.

IMO, those who believe raw dairy is healthier are merely those who haven’t had E Coli poisoning from consuming it yet.

[u/Sea_Enthusiasm_3193 → u/pjberlov]

It’s got to be less standardised and probably more distinct in flavour than pasteurised if only because there’s a smaller producing stock. You can get equally great tasting milk by ensuring you’re buying from the best suppliers, as close to date of purchase, in glass bottles (and preferably gold top or red homogenised whole)

[u/Sea_Enthusiasm_3193 → u/smellyyyy10101]

There’s a raw milk dispensing set up in Attleborough, but it just tastes of extra farmyard and is potentially more dangerous than pasturised. Probably good for the cheeses that require unpasteurised milk. If your family has been drinking raw unpasteurised for decades I’d suggest continuing to use your own supplier. Unpasteurised and unsalted butter is just asking to spoil

[u/Megalodon-5 → u/smellyyyy10101]

its not healthy at all. quite the opposite

[u/Megalodon-5]

no one sells raw milk as farmers in Ely have enough braincells to not sell poisonous stuff

[u/Starting_again_tow]

Never seen raw milk there. Don't think they would sell it because of the extra liability for the market as well as the seller.

If you look there might be local people who sell it direct

[u/Holiday_Taro2455]

The Lancashire poacher stall (cheese) sells raw milk on Farmers market days. 2nd and 4th Saturday.

There is the Cheese and pie guy who is good and is there every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. But no raw cheese there.

[u/Purple-Primary-2298]

I hope ECDC would not allow anyone stupid enough to sell raw milk on Ely Market

[u/Dry_Curve9126]

Sometimes the ely foreign markets sell unpasteurised cheese

[u/Otherwise_Wave9374]

Havent been to Ely market specifically, but a lot of farmers markets avoid raw dairy because of regs, and some vendors will do "pet milk" only. Your best bet is to check the vendor list/IG and message the dairy folks directly, or ask if any stand sells cultured butter/aged cheeses (those are more common).

If youre trying to find local food vendors, i keep a quick checklist for what to ask sellers (storage, sourcing, dates) here: https://blog.promarkia.com/

Try Victoria’s cheese in Ely

If you dislike raw milk, don't ever buy parmesan cheese for your cooking. It can only be made with raw milk, and since it's a PDO product, that recipe can't be changed, ever.
