For Listeria isolation, the method recommended by the FDA was used. Of the raw milk samples, 6 (2.40 %) were found to be positive with regard to Listeria: 3 (1.20 %) had L. monocytogenes. 1 (0.40 %) L. innocua and 1 (0.40 %) L. weishimeri. Of the herby cheese samples, 13 (5.11 %) were found to be positive with regard to Listeria; 10 (3.93 %) had L. monocytogenes. 1 (0.39 %) L. ivanovii. 1 (0.39 %) L. innocua and 1 (0.39 %) L. weishimeri.
