Why raw butter over pasteurized butter?
Raw butter is the REAL, raw deal. Raw butter hasn’t been pasteurized (heated), meaning it is full of bioavailable healthy gut-supporting bacteria, Omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, healthy fats, good cholesterol, proteins, enzymes needed to digest all of these wonderful nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Our truly happy cows grass graze on green pastures. Absolutely NO antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or GMO anything. Customers with lactose sensitivities have a delicious, nutritious, and natural alternative in this unaltered, wholesome product. Plus, the ease of digestibility of raw dairy products gives those that experience discomfort with processed dairy products, a delicious and natural option (isn’t that amazing). This is a WONDERFUL product to use if you have family members that are lactose intolerant or dairy sensitive this Thanksgiving.

Raw Butter Contains a Lot of Healthy Saturated Fats. The “war” against saturated fat was based on bad science. It was never really proven that it caused any harm. In fact, recent studies are suggested there is no association at all between saturated fat and cardiovascular disease.
RAW FARM Cultured Raw Butter's yellow color comes naturally from grass-grazing. Its color will vary with the season; springtime brings the brightest color.

SUMMARY
The bacteria and enzymes in raw butter are amazing for your gut and help the body digest the butter fully, unlike pasteurized butter, which lacks the most important enzyme for digesting lactose (the milk sugars) called lactase. In many cases, the body cannot produce enough lactase on its own to digest pasteurized dairy products efficiently. This is why problems like lactose intolerance occur. However, in raw dairy products, there is the perfect number of bacteria to create natural lactase for proper digestion. The beneficial bacteria in raw dairy products help facilitate the production of lactase enzyme in our gut. Additionally, the alkaline phosphatase enzyme is mostly carried on the raw butter fat globule. That enzyme is responsible for reduction of inflammatory responses on your body. Pasteurization destroys that highly beneficial enzyme. Pasteurization destroys the bioavailability and nutrient density of dairy products including butter. Once you have had raw butter, you will never go back! It’s awesome.
