Camel Milk

🥛
Photo coming soon

It naturally lacks beta-lactoglobulin, a whey protein common in cows' milk that many people react to — part of why it's sold fresh, chilled, and unprocessed at Al Ain farm stalls rather than only as a specialty product.

Al Ain's dairy farms milk camels alongside cattle, selling the result fresh, fermented into laban, or churned into ice cream in flavors like date, saffron, and cardamom. Farm shops and the city's markets sell it chilled by the bottle right next to cow's milk.

Why it's made this way: Al Ain grew up as the UAE's inland camel-herding and farming hub, and its dairies were among the first in the country to bottle camel milk commercially, turning a traditional Bedouin staple into an everyday grocery item.
