What cultures can be added to pasteurized milk to allow it to clabber like raw milk?
I have a dairy cow, and when I leave its raw milk on the counter for a couple of days, I end up with clabber (also called clabbered milk). However, I am not willing to take the risk of consuming non-pasteurized milk products during a global health pandemic. I want to try out some recipes that use uncooked clabber. And since there are cultures that can be added to pasteurized milk to make kefir, yogurt, and cheeses, I thought surely there must be some that can be added to make clabber! Alas, I have not been able to find any information on this.
What specific bacterial, fungal, or yeast cultures can be added to pasteurized milk to create clabber?
Best Answer
I have made something like a yoghurt using just kefir and pasteurized milk. One of the two bottles was in equilibrium. Sour and with bubbles. Not so lucky though with the other bottle as it was more like yeast in taste.

How do you make clabber pasteurized milk?
Add the raw milk to the sterilized jar and secure the lid loosely. Ferment the raw milk at room temperature until the milk sours and starts to separate. This can take between 1 to 5 days depending on the age of the milk, the temperature in your home, and the natural bacteria in the milk itself.Can you make clabber from pasteurized milk?
It's important to pick unpasteurized milk, because pasteurized doesn't contain the necessary probiotic that raw milk is rich in Lactic Acid Bacteria, which ferments when put in a warm environment, resulting in sour milk. If you leave it long enough to clabber, you should be able to watch the curds and whey separately.How do you make raw milk clabber?
Leve your raw, whole milk (covered) at room temperature for 24 hours or until it has become soured and slightly thickened but not separated. To make clabbered milk, leave the milk out longer (up to 72 hours or more) until it naturally separates into curds and whey.What causes milk to clabber?
Clabber is a type of soured milk. It is produced by allowing unpasteurized milk to turn sour (ferment) at a specific humidity and temperature. Over time, the milk thickens or curdles into a yogurt-like consistency with a strong, sour flavor.The History of Pasteurization: Killer Milk?!
