Question: what is the difference between whole and fresh milk?
Answer: Fresh milk is direct from the animal. ... “Whole” milk as a label in a store has to meet a percentage of butterfat standard, so milk is mixed to attain that standard, which used to be 4% and now seems to be 3.5%. Whole milk in the store is also homogenized and Pasteurized so it doesn't separate and is not raw.
