Eastern Europe
A visitor from Eastern Europe writes: In the East European countries, Romania, Hungary, the former states of Yugoslavia, you can find real (raw) milk all over the place there. It’s true, you can’t find the raw milk in stores, but you can ask people about farms (in-city farms) that sell raw milk. My family buys only raw milk from some neighbors who feed their small cattle on the pastures near the city skirts. The milk is delivered almost instantly after it is milked (an hour or so). It is not even skimmed.

- Bernard Gaborit: web: www.bernardgaborit.fr. pastured Jersey cow raw milk, sheep and goat raw milks and other dairy products, certified organic, sold in health food stores nationwide all year long. Farm is located at La Grande Nillière 49360 Maulévrier.

- Retour a la Terre: Three or four stores in Paris center – www.leretouralaterre.fr. Each of these receive their shipments one or two times a week, depending on demand.

They stock depending on demand, but will order if you ask.
- Tournus: There is a raw milk vending machine on the southern outskirts of the center of town across the street from “Simply Market.” If you take the main road out of town going towards Mâcon you will see a small sign for Simply Market on your left. The milk comes from La Ferme de Chantebaud.

Ireland
Raw cow milk for direct human consumption was banned in 1996, this was superseded by the EU 2006 Hygiene directive which allowed for the sale of raw milk direct to consumers from the farm or through local retail outlets. Currently, owing to this EU directive, the sale of raw milk in Ireland is legal, but the Irish Government is proposing to ban its sale; their time-frame was set to be before the end of 2011, however the legislation has not advanced further owing to the work of the Campaign for Raw Milk Ireland who still hope to be able to persuade the government to introduce regulations as opposed to an outright ban. The Campaign for Raw Milk in Ireland was formed in May 2011. More details on the campaign and the current situation can be found on www.rawmilkireland.com

- Raw Cheeses? Real Milk correspondent Rob Hundscheit has compiled a list of “raw” cheeses available in Netherlands and Germany. However, he warns, “99 percent of cheese here is pasteurized or sterilized–even ‘raw’ cheese is heated between a temperature between 43-70 degrees Celsius (102-150 degrees Fahrenheit). Maybe there is only one kind of cheese in Holland which is merely ‘almost raw’ and this is organic cheese with the name Loverendale–which is available in cow and goat. Below is a list of cheeses which are available in Holland and Germany, of which they state that these are raw, however the truth is often different. However it is allowed in Germany to import French cheese to Germany.” So, use this list as a starting point, but be sure to ask! Cheeses in Holland and Germany.

Poland
A reader tells us there are milk dispensers called mlekomat in Poland. A list of cities and map can be found here: http://www.mlekomat.info/map,pl.html. She says that farmers also provide people with raw milk at farms.
Slovakia
A reader from Husak, Slovakia reports: “I just wanted to let you know that raw milk is widely available in Slovakia through automated dispensers. At some dispensers bottles are also sold, but most people bring used plastic bottles (like mineral water comes in) and fill their own. Apparently there was a subsidy from the government to dairy farms that allowed them to buy these dispensing machines (all of which are from various Italian companies). So, you’ll be getting local raw milk from them, though certainly not organic, unfortunately. Of course, if one is in the countryside, it is possible to find people, like me, with cows who’ll give you raw milk. The milk dispensers are called “mliekomats”. “Surové mlieko” would be the term for “raw milk”, but it may also be called “čerstvé mlieko” — fresh milk, which in the context of mliekomats always means raw milk, but in supermarkets non-UHT milk I have seen called “fresh milk”. These mliekomats also exist the Czech Republic.

Thank you! I have added this information above.
The automated dispensers (sing.:mlekomat; plur.:mlekomaty) are distributing fresh milk (non-UHT) but, this is not raw milk. This is “standard” pasteurized and homogenized milk.
However, it is true that one can buy raw milk from traditional (small) farms. Note that Poland is a member of European Union and follows EU norms that largely have banned distribution of raw milk and raw milk products. Therefore, farmers selling raw milk do so against the law. This does not mean that raw milk from these sources is unsafe. The distribution is simply unregulated and unofficial.
Remember that not that long ago, all milk in Poland was raw. Pasteurized milk has been introduced earlier in big cities where large scale diary transformation facilities existed. Grocery/Diary shops in small towns where the milk travelled from local farms to diary facilities daily, kept selling raw milk far into the late communist era. Refrigeration was not always available for milk. Fresh raw milk was sold daily and what was not sold the same day would become soured. This soured milk would be sold the next day or two, depending on season – summer months meant the milk would turn sour faster and would be good or acceptable for consumption for shorter time.
All this was lost when modernity came to Poland and centralization of the distribution of milk (big diaries took over making small diary transformation facilities disappear) as well as pasteurization and refrigeration came during 1980’s. The pasteurized and homogenized became standard everywhere in Poland. However, this was still lost to even worse practices – the proliferation of milk UHT. The fresh milk, although still available, is by far less accessible that UHT milk. The farther from big city centres the more UHT becomes the only milk available.
The alternative to pasteurization is properly produced and handled grass-fed raw milk!
There are Many Raw Milk Vending Machines,in France,in more and More Cities,on the Supermarkets Parking Lots,as seen in thoses Videos.
