If you are looking for a natural, unprocessed, non-additive, grass fed whey (concentrate) protein: then this is a whey to go. It does have an unusual taste (only compared to main stream whey): it is a bit salty, pungent flavor. It is certified organic so we know the steer get some grass exposure. I called Frontier and they verified that it is pastuerized, not raw. Overall I really like it because I know it is natural. I would love it if it were unpastuerized, but this is a different social issue far beyond this product. It blends very well with my recovery smoothie meals. Upon opening I dump the whey into a container and dispose of the wrapper it comes with. Very nice safe wrapper but difficult to seal after opening.
