A different kind of dairy milk

Camel milk is real dairy milk, naturally produced by camels.

It has been consumed for centuries and is used much like cow’s milk - in coffee, cooking and everyday routines.

Many people first discover camel milk while searching for alternatives to cow milk. Unlike plant-based options such as oat or almond milk, camel milk is not a substitute - it is dairy, with a naturally mild taste and familiar behaviour in the kitchen.
