I'm assuming you just mean fresh unpasterised milk. Can't say I've ever specificially looked for it, but I think I've noticed it at farmers markets on occasion. It has no shelf life so I wouldn't imagine it's something that wouldn't be easy to find. |

I haven't found any, though I'd love to get my hands on some.
Where are there true farmers' markets? I'm in Incheon, and I make cottage cheese and yogurt. Raw milk would be divine. |

Low temperature is the next best thing. Look for 63 degree stuff, as most of the nutrients will be unharmed by the low temperature process.
Two popular brands are Pasteur and Denmark. Maybe 30% or so more expensive than the usual stuff.
We get 4 x 900ml of Denmark low-fat delivered for my daughter each week. |

| Raw milk is difficult to find. I'm wondering if Konkuk University and other places be a place to check? |

The ajummas squatting on the sidewalks and in subway stations with vegetables spread out on a plastic sheet. |

I'm pretty sure those ajummas aren't actually farmers, considering how often I see them selling bananas. |

Not only yuppies shop at farmers' markets in NYC. There are coops that are just as affordable as supermarkets. Some even take food stamps. There's nothing wrong, and everything right, in buying directly from the farmers. It's fresher, and the farmers make more profit, allowing them to stay in business, and not forcing everyone to eat big agra's GMO food. But that's a rant...
Anyway, I doubt that the ajumma stuff is that fresh. I've seen some pretty nasty produce for sale.
Back on topic, if anyone does know where both I an the OP could find the stuff, that would be great help! |

When I lived in Gimpo there was an area not far from the Gimpo High School bus stop (in Sa-woo-dong) that would have a temporary Farmer's market setup every now and then, seemed to appear at random times, and of course much for often in the end of summer and start of autumn then the rest of the year. Haven't lived in Gimpo for a few years, so I can't be more specific. I would hazard a guess that you're only going to see proper farmer's markets if you live in, or near, rural communities. |

Well, my Internet searching did turn up something where it is claimed to be raw milk according to a listing at alibaba.com.
I don't read Korean (or to be more precise, with its highly phonetic alphabet, I do read it with reasonable pronunciation, but I have no idea what I'm saying except for numbers and place names and a very few words), so I'll include the link here to see if anyone can read the label with comprehension to determine if this really is raw milk from Seoul Milk company.
I know that 서 울 우 유 means Seoul Milk , but I don't know what the rest of it means or if there is anything on the label that would indicate raw milk.
Anyone have any ideas about this label? It says 목 장 의 신 산 함 이 살 아 and then in some smaller characters, 잇ㅅ 는 우 유
And here's a link to that picture. http://www.alibaba.com/product-tp/108206850/_KITA_Seoul_Milk.html |

Yes, Seoul milk sells unpasteurized milk. The label you put (목장의 신산함 이 살아) is on all of their milk and its just a slogan (Mountain pasture life, you can figure out what they are trying to say if you really want to).
Just take a dictionary with you and translate the bottle, even though, if I recall, they have it printed in English on the bottle. |

Thanks, Nathan. That was most helpful.
Cheers.
PS. My iPod Touch app dictionary says raw milk is 미 살 균 우 유
Is that what you think it will have on the bottle? Thanks, again. |

| I make cheese and looked for raw milk. According to Korean law it cannot be sold to the public. There are something like 200 diseases that can be spread by raw milk so it is understandable why it is banned. If you are hell bent on raw milk I'm afraid you'll have to buy the whole cow (or goat). |
