Read to the end for an extra tip on the best chocolate milk your kids will ever taste.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humans have been consuming cow's milk since European dairy farmers developed a genetic adaptation that enabled them to digest lactase about 7,500 years ago. A high-protein, calorie-dense, versatile beverage, milk is a dietary staple for millions of Americans, and it's full of calcium and Vitamin D, to boot. Whether your kids drink it by the gallon or you just splash a bit on your oatmeal every morning, here's a handy guide to the best whole milk available in the Bay Area, with tasting notes for each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While American milk consumption is down 37% since 1970, the USDA estimates that U.S. residents still consume an average of .8 cups per person each day. But despite recent medical research touting the nutritional benefits of full-fat dairy products, whole milk—the focus of this guide—is still out of favor, down to .24 cups per day, on average, for U.S. consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This may not be the case, however, in the Bay Area, where there's a tremendous amount of competition among producers of the highest quality sustainable whole milk. We identified six brands that are widely available throughout the Bay Area that meet the criteria for this guide (both sustainable and full-fat) and also taste great, albeit in vastly different ways: \u003ca href=\"https://www.strausfamilycreamery.com\">Straus Family Creamery\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://cloversonoma.com\">Clover Sonoma\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.stbenoit.com\">Saint Benoît Creamery\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.humboldtcreamery.com\">Humboldt Creamery\u003c/a>, and two less widely available raw milks worth seeking out, from \u003ca href=\"https://claravalefarm.com/\">Claravale\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.organicpastures.com/\">Organic Pastures\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What Is Sustainable Milk?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I began my research on local whole milk with a focus on organic, and then it became clear that some dairies go well beyond organic certification requirements, making significant contributions to sustainability. \"Sustainability\" is a vague word. It has no legal definition and so it's important to make subjective parameters clear. Given what is happening in California’s dairy industry, contributions to sustainability might include something as deceptively simple as reusable bottles or as obviously complex as carbon farming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people think of organic certification as a baseline for sustainability, and all of the milks we've included in this guide are certified organic, except for one, the Claravale raw milk (whose rationale I'll discuss later).

(Raw milk advocates argue that this process kills good bacteria, as well, but that's a debate for another time.) The legal minimum temperature for pasteurization is 145 degrees. \"Ultra-pasteurized\" milk is heated to at least 280 degrees, a category that applies to none of the milks featured in this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogenization_(chemistry)\">\u003cstrong>Homogenization\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> is the process of dispersing milkfat throughout the milk, preventing the cream from rising to the surface.

I designed a tasting of these six milks to include my two kids, as well as two adult tasters who could offer their perceptions to readers. I made the structure of the tasting as simple as possible in order to cover the range of aromas, flavors and textures the average milk-drinker will experience, without getting too technical. The categories we evaluated, in a blind tasting in which all the milks were room temperature, are: color, aroma, mouthfeel, flavor and aftertaste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127683\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-127683\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new.jpg\" alt=\"The milk rating system for the taste test\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3465-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The milk rating system for the taste test \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lastly, I asked our tasters to rate each \u003cstrong>milk's sweetness on a scale of 1-5\u003c/strong> (five being the sweetest). From what I was able to glean about pasteurization (for the four milks that were pasteurized), a higher level of perceived sweetness seems to correspond with higher degrees of pasteurization. You should read this according to your own palate's threshold for sugar. For example, I don't like super-sweet beverages, so Humboldt Creamery tastes like dessert to me; I prefer the 2-3 range of sweetness, which is more balanced (3) and even savory-leaning (2). So, these sweetness ratings (an average of all tasters) is not evaluative, but rather descriptive and, in comparison with other milks on the table, intended to help steer you toward a milk you'll enjoy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127684\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-127684\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new.jpg\" alt=\"Testing for aroma\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Testing for aroma \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Instead of a competition, I approached this as a sensory exploration, and here's what our tasters had to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Straus Organic Whole Milk (glass bottle, cream-top)\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Pasteurized:\u003c/strong> Yes, heated to 170 degrees for 18 seconds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Homogenized:\u003c/strong> No\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Color:\u003c/strong> golden white, off-white, creamy white\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Aroma:\u003c/strong> clean, crisp, rich\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Mouthfeel:\u003c/strong> velvety, rich, viscous\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Flavor:\u003c/strong> balanced, sweetly earthy, floral\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Aftertaste:\u003c/strong> clean, brisk, light, lingering\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sweetness:\u003c/strong> 3\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where to Buy:\u003c/strong> Available at more than 25 retailers throughout the Bay Area (and many farmers' markets).

Head and shoulders above other brands on the market (yes, we've tried them all, unofficially), this relatively recent addition to the Straus lineup is made with cocoa powder from fair-trade organic cocoa beans grown in the Dominican Republic and homogenized whole milk. In the case of chocolate milk, homogenization helps to blend the cocoa powder into the cream and make the texture consistent throughout the bottle. Because there's no added emulsifiers or stabilizers, natural separation occurs. Just shake and serve, and don't let the kids drink it all! We've even heated it for easy hot chocolate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127689\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-127689\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new.jpg\" alt=\"Straus chocolate milk ranked high for this taste-tester\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3488-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Straus chocolate milk ranked high for this taste-tester \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"If your family drinks milk, you'll want to read this guide to the sustainable whole milk choices available in the Bay Area, including two raw milks.

Read to the end for an extra tip on the best chocolate milk your kids will ever taste.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humans have been consuming cow's milk since European dairy farmers developed a genetic adaptation that enabled them to digest lactase about 7,500 years ago. A high-protein, calorie-dense, versatile beverage, milk is a dietary staple for millions of Americans, and it's full of calcium and Vitamin D, to boot. Whether your kids drink it by the gallon or you just splash a bit on your oatmeal every morning, here's a handy guide to the best whole milk available in the Bay Area, with tasting notes for each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While American milk consumption is down 37% since 1970, the USDA estimates that U.S. residents still consume an average of .8 cups per person each day. But despite recent medical research touting the nutritional benefits of full-fat dairy products, whole milk—the focus of this guide—is still out of favor, down to .24 cups per day, on average, for U.S. consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This may not be the case, however, in the Bay Area, where there's a tremendous amount of competition among producers of the highest quality sustainable whole milk. We identified six brands that are widely available throughout the Bay Area that meet the criteria for this guide (both sustainable and full-fat) and also taste great, albeit in vastly different ways: \u003ca href=\"https://www.strausfamilycreamery.com\">Straus Family Creamery\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://cloversonoma.com\">Clover Sonoma\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.stbenoit.com\">Saint Benoît Creamery\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.humboldtcreamery.com\">Humboldt Creamery\u003c/a>, and two less widely available raw milks worth seeking out, from \u003ca href=\"https://claravalefarm.com/\">Claravale\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.organicpastures.com/\">Organic Pastures\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What Is Sustainable Milk?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I began my research on local whole milk with a focus on organic, and then it became clear that some dairies go well beyond organic certification requirements, making significant contributions to sustainability. \"Sustainability\" is a vague word. It has no legal definition and so it's important to make subjective parameters clear. Given what is happening in California’s dairy industry, contributions to sustainability might include something as deceptively simple as reusable bottles or as obviously complex as carbon farming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people think of organic certification as a baseline for sustainability, and all of the milks we've included in this guide are certified organic, except for one, the Claravale raw milk (whose rationale I'll discuss later).

(Raw milk advocates argue that this process kills good bacteria, as well, but that's a debate for another time.) The legal minimum temperature for pasteurization is 145 degrees. \"Ultra-pasteurized\" milk is heated to at least 280 degrees, a category that applies to none of the milks featured in this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogenization_(chemistry)\">\u003cstrong>Homogenization\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> is the process of dispersing milkfat throughout the milk, preventing the cream from rising to the surface.

From what I was able to glean about pasteurization (for the four milks that were pasteurized), a higher level of perceived sweetness seems to correspond with higher degrees of pasteurization. You should read this according to your own palate's threshold for sugar. For example, I don't like super-sweet beverages, so Humboldt Creamery tastes like dessert to me; I prefer the 2-3 range of sweetness, which is more balanced (3) and even savory-leaning (2). So, these sweetness ratings (an average of all tasters) is not evaluative, but rather descriptive and, in comparison with other milks on the table, intended to help steer you toward a milk you'll enjoy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127684\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-127684\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new.jpg\" alt=\"Testing for aroma\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/IMG_3468-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Testing for aroma \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Instead of a competition, I approached this as a sensory exploration, and here's what our tasters had to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Straus Organic Whole Milk (glass bottle, cream-top)\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Pasteurized:\u003c/strong> Yes, heated to 170 degrees for 18 seconds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Homogenized:\u003c/strong> No\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Color:\u003c/strong> golden white, off-white, creamy white\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Aroma:\u003c/strong> clean, crisp, rich\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Mouthfeel:\u003c/strong> velvety, rich, viscous\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Flavor:\u003c/strong> balanced, sweetly earthy, floral\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Aftertaste:\u003c/strong> clean, brisk, light, lingering\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sweetness:\u003c/strong> 3\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where to Buy:\u003c/strong> Available at more than 25 retailers throughout the Bay Area (and many farmers' markets).

Head and shoulders above other brands on the market (yes, we've tried them all, unofficially), this relatively recent addition to the Straus lineup is made with cocoa powder from fair-trade organic cocoa beans grown in the Dominican Republic and homogenized whole milk. In the case of chocolate milk, homogenization helps to blend the cocoa powder into the cream and make the texture consistent throughout the bottle. Because there's no added emulsifiers or stabilizers, natural separation occurs. Just shake and serve, and don't let the kids drink it all!
