What is it? It’s milk, but from camels. I know, stop salivating.

How much does it cost? £20 per 500ml bottle. £20. For approximately a pint of milk. That came out of a camel.

What does it promise? Camel’s milk is 50% lower in fat than cow’s milk. It’s naturally probiotic. It’s full of protein. It’s so good for you, the makers say, that entire tribes have sustained themselves for months on nothing but camel’s milk and dates.

What’s it actually like? It took a few days to psych myself up to try camel’s milk, because the price was too intimidating and the thought of the taste was too off-putting. So, when I did eventually bite the bullet and try it, I cheated. I mixed it up with some porridge and microwaved the hell out of it. And, to be fair, it ended up being perfectly decent porridge. Only then, when I realised that camel’s milk isn’t globby and doesn’t have bits of hair in it, did I decide to drink it like a normal person. And guess what? It tasted more or less like milk. It possibly has a slight tang. It’s possibly a little saltier than I was anticipating. But, aside from that, it’s basically just normal milk.

Best and worst bit Best bit: it mainly tastes of milk. Worst bit: if anyone saw you paying £20 for a bottle of milk, they’d immediately beat you to the floor for it. And you know what? You’d completely deserve it.

Is it worth it? Probably not.
