The Camel Milk Co. FAQs
If you can't find the answer you are looking for, please contact us.
The cost to produce camel milk is significantly higher than cows; firstly Camels produce a much lower yield of milk compared to a cow. They also differ from cows in that you cannot milk a camel without a calf to suckle. This means the calf shares the milk with us for up to 18 months. So there are more costs involved in caring for the animals.
The white layer that gathers on the top of the camel’s milk is the fat (cream). We don’t homogenise. Homogenisation is the process of breaking the fat molecules down so that they mixed in the milk rather than separating as a cream on top. A quick shake soon mixes the layer back in to the milk. As we say nothing added, nothing taken. Milk tasting as milk should.
There are multitudes of added health benefits to drinking camel’s milk. The higher levels of vitamins and minerals just alone are a huge benefit. There is lots of data from around the world stating the health benefits in aiding certain diseases and conditions. Camel milk is also lower in fat and contains vitamin C, Iron, magnesium and calcium. It is also lower in saturated fats. It also has naturally present probiotics known as lactoferrin.
