Powdered milk may offer an alternative. High Heat Short Time (HTST) works many times, But Ultra Hight Temp (UHT) is problematic.

AVOID  where possible. Ultra Pasteurized, A2 Milk, and milk treated with Antibiotics, and cows injected with genetically emgingeered hormones rBGH (rBST) and other additives.

We encourage checking out your local cheese - making group. As they know not all milk is equal. Hopefully they can recommend a good milk in your area. - and Kefir does make for some great cheese.

The following brands may be produced with rBGH;

Colombo (General Mills)

Kemps (aside from “Select” brand)

Land O’ Lakes

Lucerne

Parmalat

Sorrento
