A reader alerts us: “Raw donkey milk is going great guns in France and Belgium. Marie Tack in Belgium sells donkey milk that meets European bacteriological standards. I visited two farms in France and drank milk directly from many burros (delicious!). I will go to Belgium next year to visit Marie myself who milks 50 head of mammoth jennets each day. Donkey milk is the closest milk to human breast milk and is ideal for feeding infants. It is in a state of rediscovery in France and Belgium and will be available here in the future.Visit
to see her operation. Donkeys don’t carry Bovine diseases.”
Another reader says: / –This is the only raw milk vending machine I have come across, there are three in the Lyon region, but of course I continue to purchase raw milk freely from cremeries in the French Alps. There seems to be no restriction on sales from cheese-making factories here in Haute Savoie, I am not sure about other areas of France, but I assume where artisanal cheese is made, raw milk is available.

Raw Cow’s Milk for direct human consumption was banned in 1996, this was superseded by the EU 2006 Hygiene directive which allowed for the sale of raw milk direct to consumers from the farm or through local retail outlets.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 propo 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

Raw Cheeses? Real Milk correspondent Rob Hundscheit has compiled a list of “raw” cheeses available in Holland and Germany. However, he warns, “99% 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! .

A reader tells us there are milk dispensers called mlekomat in Poland. A list of cities and map can be found here: . She says that farmers also provide people with raw milk at farms.
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. The price ranges from 0.50-0.80EUR/liter. 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” and an map of many of them in Slovakia is here:
There are perhaps many more, as the nearest town to me has one and isn’t listed. “Surové mlieko” would be the term for “raw milk”, but it may also be called “?erstvé 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.
