Garry’s Meadow Fresh Jersey Milk is Vat Pasteurized, Insuring its original qualities like nutrition and flavor.

Pasteurization is the heating of milk to remove any harmful bacteria and make it safer to drink. Garry’s Meadow Fresh Products are vat pasteurized at 145 degrees Fahrenheit and held for 30 minutes. This is the mildest form of pasteurization so the milk does not have the “cooked” or “burnt” taste that you experience from milk that has been ultra high temperature pasteurized.

Garry’s Meadow Fresh Jersey Milk is Non-Homogenized. Our bodies prefer minimally-processed foods.

Cow's milk contains an enzyme called xanthine oxidase (XO). Fat globules, prior to homogenization, are not easily absorbed by the gut wall. After homogenization, the milk fat is easily absorbed, and the attached XO gains much greater access to the bloodstream. Some researchers claim that XO, after getting into the bloodstream, directly promotes hardening of the arteries by replacing a substance called plasmalogen that is normally found there. (Levy ONOH)

Homogenization is an intensive mixing process used to prevent cream from separating from the liquid of the milk. By breaking apart the milkfat and the making the globules smaller and denser, the globules float freely throughout the milk and reduce the tendency to collect or rise.

Garry’s Meadow Fresh Jersey Milk is provided in Glass Bottles to be reused and reduce waste.

Glass bottles can be reused almost immediately; it goes back to the farm and is washed, sanitized and refilled. This process is much faster than recycling plastic or carton containers. You have to wait for it to be collected, sorted and then shipped off to recycling plants. Think of how much energy is used in recycling these glass alternatives.
