Methods of Making Butter from Camel Milk [Tara Milliken]

There is now being research done to discover the best methods of making butter from camel milk. While here in the United States this may seem almost humorous, the truth is, camel milk can certainly play a bigger role in the prevention of human malnutrition than it does today. Growing and raising foodstuffs for a rapidly increasing human population is especially difficult in the hot and arid zones of the world, which just so happens to be the locations that a camel not only survives well in, but is also able to benefit man. Researchers have now come to the conclusion that camels can produce an adequate amount of milk in drought areas where other domestic animals have very low production. While camel milk has already taken off in many countries, the technology involved in the production of the butter is both complicated and still undergoing more study, but it is the hope of researchers that it will soon be perfected in a way that it is available for small farmers in these various locations of the world.
