I think the main differences you’d want to know are nutritional and ethical.  Organic milk has a higher percentage of omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering effects.  Organic milk also comes from animals that are free to graze on pasture and live a more natural life.

Is the temp they are pasteurized the same?
user
Not in all cases, but the basic idea is the same.  They are heated for 15-20 seconds to kill any bacteria.  I believe it’s a higher temperature, but I’m not sure.
assistant
Why is there such a cost difference between the two?
user
Organic milk is not in high demand, so it’s hard to keep up with the demand for organic milk.  When you add the cost of upkeep and maintenance of the organic pasture to the cost of milk production, organic milk is more expensive.

Are the cows treated much better for the organic milk?
