Hello,
I found a source for raw milk, "Creamline" milk, from Jersey cows. I am really excited, but it is about a two hour drive to get it. I need to know how long it will keep in the fridge, and if I can store it, etc. Ideally I guess I would like to only make a monthly or twice monthly trip. There is a goat farm nearby who is planning to get set up to sell their milk and products soon, so this would probably be just to get by until then. I have a small chest freezer that is mostly empty now, so there would be plenty of room for milk.
Is there a special procedure to freezing milk? Does it change the flavor or texture, if it's been frozen? How long can milk stay frozen without losing nutrition?
Thanks
