I read the jar and it doesn't say. I called the 1-800# and they must be closed. I sent them an email asking and will let you know!

You can make "ghee" using a centrifuge, using raw butter...but that technically makes it butter oil, since it is almost a perfect method of seperation. and you also lose the nutty flavor from the traditional heating process used.

Here's what their website says about it: "Our Grass-fed Organic Ghee is made from the milk of pastured cows, fed on fresh green grass in spring and fall only. No GMOs, no added salt, no preservatives, no Trans Fats, no colors or dyes, no MSG, no flavor enhancers. The one and only ingredient is milk, with absolutely nothing else added to it." I don't see, so far, on their site that it says it's "raw". I would assume since it doesn't say then it's not. But I contact them to find out. :)

The only way a person can get GHEE and still worried about it being pasteurized - will need to have their own cows - make certain they are grass-fed and NO grains given to them. Then milk your cow & make your own butter. To make GHEE - you will still need to HEAT it.

To make ghee involves the process of melting and simmering butter so no ghee can be claimed as a raw product. For raw milk butter you may want to try Organic Pastures Dairy for they sell great quality raw dairy products (in CA). Or simply search for organic raw dairy products in your local area.

There is no such thing as raw ghee, as heat is the very thing that separates the solids from the oil. Better heat than chemicals! Ghee is a special substance in healthy cooking and holistic healthcare. If you are looking for something raw to cook with, or something raw that is a beneficial oil, I recommend raw coconut oil, although the flavor will impact some dishes.

The package I have says nothing about being raw. Dagoba website says they roast there beans.

I don't know what raw is. But you do have to cook it for about 10 minutes. I have seen it at Whole Foods.

It's definitely pasteurized. Meyenberg is a pasteurized brand, and the process of producing dry milk uses high heat. Dry milk and condensed milk can never be "raw". Oh and, Thomas is wrong. Raw milk from a healthy source is superior to pasteurized milk, which explains why baby cows die when they live off pasteurized milk. Raw milk is also more tolerable to people who are sensitive to pasteurized milk. Pasteurization came about thanks to industrial farming, which caused cows to become unhealthy and infected, and of course, the milk would be infected and unsafe to drink without pasteurizing it first. However, pasteurizing also alters the proteins and fats in the milk. Goat milk is especially sensitive to heat because of the fat structure, which is why Meyenberg's ultra-pasteurized goat milks taste 'goaty' while the less pasteurized brands (Summerhill, LaClare, etc..) and raw goat milk don't have that goaty flavor. Good luck!

the ones i get from Amazon are steamed , blanched or pasteurized and are allowed to be labeled raw-pure raw is illegal to be sold unless purchased directly from farms -see Sunfood or Bremmer Foods being sold directly from the farm in Calif -Almonds from abroad can be sold totally pure raw and health food stores and some whole food super markets carry them

Zane... it does not specifically say that it is pasteurized or that it has live and active cultures on the back of the packaging.

I am not sure if its raw, the package does not say so and I do not know how to tell. The package says 100% ground sesame..not toasted or anything. But, I like it very much for making hummus!

I would be very surprised if the almonds are pasteurized as that generally involves flash heating the food (my aunt and uncle had a dairy farm when I was young, so I've seen milk pasteurization). It's possible the almonds were pasteurized, but I think raw means raw, unheated, unpasteurized. You could experiment with 'nuking' them in the microwave if you're concerned about it.

Since it is not labeled "raw", I would assume that it is not raw and has been processed in some way.

No, it's pasteurized, per US law. If you're looking for raw the laws vary from state to state, and in some you may find raw butter. I mostly use my butter for cooking, so whether it was raw or not would make no difference for me. In the end it's the fact that this butter is cultured that gives it its wonderful flavor. I've made my own raw butter before, separating the cream from raw Jersey cow milk, culturing it, then churning it. It was delicious, but never as good as Kerry Gold.

I checked my three jars of honey, and none of them have a "PASTEURIZED" label. I still think it is just Raw, Unpasteurized honey.

"Raw" is not listed anywhere but the honey is very good, with no additives. I'm very pleased with it.
