Whole milk is milk that contains at least four percent milk fat. It differs from low-fat and skim milk and has a creamier taste and texture.
Taste preferences for non-fat, whole, or low-fat milk vary among individuals. Whole milk is often favored for its creamy texture and richer flavor, while low-fat milk offers a balance between creaminess and fewer calories. Non-fat milk, on the other hand, can taste more watery to some. Ultimately, it's subjective and depends on personal taste and dietary goals.

You are talking about 2 different things. Whole milk is milk that has not been "skimmed" or had its milk fat removed.

Pasteurization is the sterilization process by which foods, including milk, are treated in order to kill pathogens which can cause disease. Any variety of milk may be pasteurized. In fact, whole, 2%, 1% or skim pasteurized milk are widely available in most grocery stores in the United States and Canada.
Whole milk is NOT usually cheaper than skim milk. Skim milk is usually cheaper, because the milkfat that is "skimmed" of the milk has value and can be sold on its own.
