Geoff Bowles, who runs Ivy House farm in Somerset, which provides Harrods, Fortnum & Mason and Selfridges with their unhomogenised, organic milk, cites the high price of the equipment needed as one of the reasons he has never homogenised his milk but, aside from the purported health benefits, he also highlights its practical value. My mum was more of a Tip-top person when I was a kid. That and St Ivel powdered milk, which she always made up with more water than reccommended to make it go further (shudder). Creamy moustaches were banished by homogenisation, which gives milk a longer shelf life.

Pasteurisation heats milk to destroy potential pathogens but, say raw milk advocates, decreases vitamins which could be beneficial to health. Some believe that the homogenisation process – emulsifying the milk under high pressure to distribute fat molecules evenly so the cream does not rise to the top – promotes the absorption of xanthine oxidase into the bloodstream, which in turn could be detrimental to heart health.

Some take their objections further, believing raw milk to be detrimental to health. In the USA there were 144 outbreaks of illness reportedly linked to raw milk between 2007 and 2016 according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The UK’s Food Standards Agency said last year that since 2015 there had been an increased risk from raw drinking milk, which reflected “greater levels of exposure due to increases in the number of registered producers and volume of production and consumption, alongside an increase in the number of outbreaks of human illness associated with RDM.” However, the FSA also said it had found little direct evidence that unpasteurised products made using raw milk - milkshakes, smoothies and ice cream - have caused illness.
