Camel Milk Anyone?

Soy milk and rice milk are old hat. So why not try Camel's milk - or maybe some camelbert cheese?


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.

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.

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

I think it would be an excellent nutricinal sourse even for infants and growing children.

I think this would stop child hunger in places like Somalia

Interesting. Around here (I live in Wisconsin) we have cheesemakers that make goat's milk cheese, sheep's milk cheese, bison milk cheese, and even llama milk cheese. Camel cheese would definitely be the next to hit the scene. I don't know how many people here would actually buy it though (unless it's really delicious)

Any word on the lactose content?

Reply
G. Krishnamurthy

When lactose reaches 5.8 percent, it acquires a sweeter taste. The one thing camel milk lacks is fat ; it has only 2 per cent fat, compared with 4.5 per cent in cow's milk. As a final selling point, even people with lactose intolerance can drink it, even though it contains about as much lactose as cow's milk.

What is it that camels eat that would make the milk higher in vitamin C? I mean, I never thought that cow's milk would be an optimal source of vitamin C, so I don't know if 3x that is really a big difference, but it is an interesting difference.

Camel milk contains considerably less vitamin A and B2 than cow milk while the content of vitamin E is about the same level. The level of vitamin C is in average three times higher than that of cow milk.
Tasting slightly more salty than cows' milk, but with three times the vitamin C and up to 10 times the iron content, camel's milk is touted as a powerful tonic against many diseases and as an aphrodisiac.

Dr. Nagpal, I am a medical professional in the US who is trying to get camel milk into the US. It will not be allowed in the US until the law is changed to include camalids in the terminology. The FDA and the US Pastuerization Board have asked me to submit a proposal to change the law so that it can be submitted for testing to start the process which is long and involved. I will be testifying within the next couple of months before the FDA to get the law changed. I hope that we can work together on this for the import of the milk into the USA. It is against the law at the present to sell the milk in any form and it is a federal crime. I have spoken with a Mr. Gary Gutherie, an importer, who I believe has contacted you but he is not of aware of this so I wish to make it known to you and will be very excited to see the camel milk come into the USA and hope to be able to do studies and to offer it to my patients. Thank you. Dr. Millie Hinkle

Camel's milk lactose free, low fat, Camelbert cheese. Interesting revelations. Are there any figures/statistics on production of milk, with regional/country-wide break up, with cost of production, in organised farming and un-organised settlement farms. It appears the production is un-organised with nomadic style production. I suggest if attention to organise and devise ways to lower the production costs, with pasturisation/branding can bring healthy income, and nutrition gap in developing countries importing powerded milk from New Zealand, EU, with high freight costs. GCC countries has resources to organise the production, brand/package with nutrition, therapeutic milk, with cheese can bring the product international recognition to EU, US, Japanese markets, with backing from Pharmaceuticals.
Pakistan produce buffalo milk which I call horny milk, as population growth is 4.5% per annum. I guess the camel milk may be horny too, and will be prefered with the ageing population of the EU for sexual drive, and possibly population growth among the ageing/retired.

How much is the price compared to that of cow's milk?
Will there be a viable market in the US?
How can I obtain the milk? Shipping and all?
Does it come under the standards of the FDA?
From what I am hearing it would be a great product.
Will their be any sabotage from the cattle dairy industry?
