Frequently Asked Questions About Raw Milk In Costa Rica

Is raw milk legal in Costa Rica?

Yes, raw milk is legal in Costa Rica as long as the provider follows strict guidelines. Raw milk is regulated by SENASA and the Ministry of Health to ensure that it is safe. It must have a label that states that the milk is raw milk (leche crudo) or unpasteurized (sin pasteurizar). The product must have a CVO number on the label. This is how you know that the product has gone through the permitting process. We can't make false health claims about raw milk so we prefer not to give any health claims at all. The cold chain is very important with raw milk. We make sure that when the milk comes from the fridge it goes directly into a cooler with ice to ensure the cold chain is not broken.   

How is raw milk different from pasteurized milk?

It is not treated with heat. It is taken directly from the cow and bottled. As a result raw milk keeps its natural enzymes and native bacteria. This is controversial because some claim that this bacteria is healthy and others claim that it can be dangerous. Pasteurized milk on the other hand is heated to kill both good and bad bacteria.   

Can raw milk be frozen?

Yes, it can be frozen but there are some important facts to know. Freezing slows bacteria growth but it does not sterilize the milk. To ensure the best quality it is important to freeze when fresh. The freezing process causes fat separation which makes the texture different. If you shake well then the fat will dissolve in the milk but it may still be a clumpy texture. The flavour will stay mostly in tact but not be as creamy and 100%.  Be sure to leave room in the bottle for expansion. When you unthaw, do not unthaw at room temperature, unthaw in the fridge. The longer it is frozen the worse the texture and taste will become.  For best results don't freeze for longer than 3 months but ideally only 2 weeks.   

Do you offer other raw dairy products?

Yes, we offer several other raw dairy products from Finca el Chupulun and Cafano on our website. The most popular are cheese, yogurt and butter.
