The Remarkable Difference Between Grocery Store & Low-Processed Milk

When people first try Mistyglen Creamery milk, we often hear the same thing: “This tastes different.” A big reason for that is how little we do to it. Our milk travels less, skips extra separation, is not homogenized, and is gently pasteurized at a lower temperature using our vat pasteurizer. It is a simpler path from our cows to your table, and we believe you can taste the difference.

Ever wondered how far milk travels before it reaches your fridge? At Mistyglen Creamery the journey is surprisingly short.

What is Low Temperature Pasteurized Milk?

Many customers tell us Mistyglen milk tastes like the milk they remember growing up with on the farm. One of the reasons is how we pasteurize it. Instead of high temperature systems used by large processors, we use a traditional vat pasteurizer that gently heats the milk at a lower temperature to protect its natural flavour while still meeting Canadian safety standards.
