Camel Milk Anyone?

i-a8ad9eafb38ec7c99144096108ee236a-camelmilk.gifLactose intolerant?

Soy milk and rice milk are old hat.

So why not try Camel’s milk – or maybe some camelbert cheese?

Yes, Camel’s milk is growing in popularity because of it’s superiority to cow’s milk. But, as you could guess some people aren’t happy about it at all.

Let’s take a look at why the dairy industry is worried.

Camel Milk Nutrition

Nutraingredients reports that Camel milk may soon appear in European supermarkets. The milk is three times higher in Vitamin C than cows milk (src) – and lower in saturated fat and cholesterol.

It is also much lower in lactose than cow’s milk and higher in potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, manganese, sodium and zinc.

Camels milk is around 17% protein.

Other Products?

A camel dairy in Mauritania even makes a soft cheese from the milk – called ‘camelbert’.

Not to be outdone, a chocolatier from Vienna is using powdered camel milk to make the world’s first camel chocolate. The manufacturer intends to ship 50 tons of the chocolate back to the middle east – targeting wealthy tourists staying in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Illegal to Sell

Although there is a growing popularity and demand for camel’s milk in western nations, most have laws in place that prevent the importation and the sale of camel’s milk.

I would guess the dairy industry is responsible for blocking its progress. They stand to lose a lot if a superior milk was embraced by the general public.

“Milk is money” says the United Nations FAO dairy expert. I’m sure the (cow) dairy industry would agree.

    Currently it is not legal to sell raw milk in Australia but there is a company working towards making camel milk available to Australians. If you search for me, Camel Wool Products on Facebook you can send me a message for more details.

    I am amazed that with all the interest in camel milk there is not an exporter busily sending powdered camel milk all over the world. Or perhaps there is? I am wanting powdered camel milk but cannot find it. Does anyone have information about this?

    for those who have submitted contacts, are there email addresses for these contacts, such as the one in India? If so please post. snail mail is difficult and time consuming.
