how long should you boil cow milk for it to become pasteurised.

Also how long should I boil untreated milk in order to differentiate between low fat and normal pasteurised milk

how do you make cheese and butter from untreated cow milk

It may be brucellosis free, but there is no guarantee that it is free of bacteria such as E coli O157.
That is why Scotland has outlawed the sale of unpasteurised milk since the early 80's.
Milk needs to be heated to 71.7�C for 15 seconds to be pasteurised.

Yep, pasturising is easy, as Zeddy says. It's a real shame we can't get unpasturised any more. My mum used to leave unpasturised milk in bottles to go really sour - sludgy stuff at the top, clear at the bottom. Strained it through muslin, added a little salt, twisted the muslin tight, and hung it on the washing line for about a week, Result? Lovely crumbly cream cheese from the mycella organisms picked up from the air. Try that with pasturised, and the milk just rots in the bottle.
