Pasteurization is a heat treatment that removes any of the harmful bacteria from milk while keeping all the important nutrients. There are different types of pasteurization which equate to different shelf life. Homogenization is the process where the fat is broken up in the milk so your milk is smooth and consistent and the cream no longer rises to the top.
