Most cheeses, with a few specific exceptions, are made with whole milk. This can mean pasteurized milk from the grocery store, or raw milk fresh off the farm.

Answer:

Raw milk is quite often used in cheese making as it has not been heated to destroy bacteria, and therefore can be easily used to produce our favourite cheeses. Due to the fact that it is not heat treated, cheese makers are able to add significantly less ingredients, as necessary with pasteurised milk.
