Sour milk is RAW milk (unpasteurized) that is allowed to curdle. This is a natural process driven by the bacteria still present in the milk that pasteurization kills off. Its a similar process to making yogurt or kefir. Very popular in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. Not common in USA due to lack of raw milk.
