The amount of cream in pasteurized milk is tightly controlled; the milk is literally run through a centrifuge and the skim milk separated from the cream, then cream is re-added to a certain percentage. With raw milk, this processing doesn't occur, allowing for cream content as high as it comes straight from the cow.

That's not what pasteurized means. You are describing a different process.

And anyway the centrifuge process also allows for cream content higher than what the cow produces.

I know what pasteurized means. But any milk that is pasteurized is about 100% likely to go through this other process also.

You really have to get it directly from cow to table to get the true flavor of milk.
