Camel milk is coming
by Leon Gettler
Australian could soon be drinking camel milk.
Sydney born Hannah Purss, 27, and her South Australian partner Evan Casey are building an 850-head camel dairy, the largest in Australia.
They plan to supply fresh camel milk to Brisbane and Australia’s eastern seaboard this year.
And that’s just stage one. With the backing of investors and agricultural investment advisors SNV Agri, they hope to turn the Australian Wil Camel Corporation into a 4500-head camel dairy, the largest in the world.
Eventually, it will be one of seven camel dairies operating across Australia.
Purss says consumers should take to camel milk because it’s so healthy,
“It’s a product that should be on Australian shelves,’ she told the Courier Mail.
“Camel milk is naturally homogenised, which basically means it’s a lot smoother, it’s much thinner and it doesn’t have that fatty taste when you drink it – it really tastes like milk that you pour from a bottle on to your cereal.”
She said it’s a super food, packed with “every nutrient the human body needs to survive.”
