Thanks for the detailed response. Is there an easy way to tell which cheeses are made with raw vs. Pasteurized milk? I'd love to more confidently try Canadian cheese, and will have to try Oka next time I'm at thd store!

Cheers! Always happy to talk cheese haha.

I believe it should be declared on the ingredient list on the packaging, if the cheese uses pasteurized or unpasteurized milk. Cheeses using unpasteurized milk are very difficult to find where I am (not a big city, but not a small city). Even specialist cheese shops don't often have them on-hand, but I always ask. Not sure on your jurisdiction, but it can be worth doing a web search for local cheesemakers in your area. There might be a little business making something excellent that probably never sees a grocery store shelf. Definitely that's the case in Western Canada.
