Camel milk is the best alternative for cow milk!

Camel milk is new in the Netherlands since 2006. Camel Dairy Farm Smits is the first and only camel dairy farm in Europe.

 

Dutch camel milk tastes about the same as cow’s milk. Some people find that camel milk tastes saltier and spicier than cow’s milk. Cows and camels eat mostly grass. This grass largely determines the taste of the milk.
