Can a person find pasturized dairy products in Europe?
I know in Europe that they don’t pasturize milk, preferring to utilize milk in it’s most natural state. Can Americans who are accostumed to drinking pasturized milk and eating products made from pas milk find such items if they live or are visiting Europe?
Does the US import pasturized milk and dairy products to Europe. I know that in for European countries to export their dairy products to our country, they have to be pasturized to meet USFDA standards. Is that true in the opposite direction?
This question wasn’t meant to offend any European citizens. I watch many travel shows in which the hosts travel throughout the continent. I remember hearing a cooking show host say that typically dairy products aren’t pasteurized because Europeans prefer the natural taste of milk and cheese made from unpasteurized milk.

If I were you, I would not worry about it. I personally believe that Europe’s milk is 100 times better tasting than anything over here.
I recommend eating as much dairy as possible over there…because it is so good!!!!
Unless you eat something that is spoiled, you will not get sick.
I’m sorry but you are wrong, dairy products are pasteurized in Europe for many decades, in fact, it was a french scientist, Louis Pasteur who invented the process.
More recently, in the last 20 years, all countries belonging to the European Union have the strictest laws in the planet in what it comes to food products, including dairy products that are, obviously, all pasteurized, even those made in a traditional way. You won’t find absolutely any dairy products NOT pasteurized, unless you go to a milk farm and drink straight out of a cow…
I don’t know about cheese, but bottled milk you buy is always pasteurized. It’s not that common, but in some towns or at fairs you can get raw milk from an automatic machine that fills bottle with milk – you bring your own clean bottle or you can buy an empty one on the spot.
Previous two answerers are correct. Milk in Europe is pastuerised and in most cases homogenised.
France and some of the larger countries have a tendencies to apply UHT and that milk is just rank. Irish, Danish and Swiss milk are the nicest.
As for cheeses, speciality cheeses might not be pasteurised or homogonised due to the fact that the bacteria is required to create the cheese.
Milk has been pasteurised in Europe since 1862. It’s pasteurised at a lower (acceptable in US also) temperature. The US pasteurises at a higher level, therefore leaving the milk with less taste than its European counterparts. Because the US uses the higher temperatures, they are unable to produce as many complex cheeses as there are in Europe and they have to be imported.
NO. European people think that pasteurization is EVIL!!! they take their dairy product straight from the udder. as a matter of fact cows are considered sacred. if you are caught eating/ drinking anything pasteurized you will be castrated or worse!!!
