It was the only one in the country. 23 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's been difficult 24 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because Australians aren't naturally adventurous particularly in new food types. 25 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 In the 1860s Afghan camel, herders were hired to help explore the 26 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Desert Landscapes bringing thousands of camels with them. 27 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But with the Advent of trains and cars, camels soon became obsolete. 28 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So they were released into the wild fast forward to the early 2000s 29 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in Australia, was home to more than a million camels, 30 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 which was a problem because those camels cause 10 million dollars 31 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in environmental damage each year according to the government. 32 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So officials tried to stop them by killing thousands of camels in 2010. 33 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Lauren saw this as an opportunity to turn camels into a cash cow. 34 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 This worldwide need for camel milk. 35 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It doesn't cause a lot of the dysfunction, or the allergy reaction that you 36 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 get from, you know, dairy, cow dairy milk. 37 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So it's easier to digest research on camel. Milk is still very scarce. 38 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There's only limited evidence to suggest that camel milk might have unique, 39 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 nutritional properties and overall, the jury still out at $25. L. 40 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's also not cheap Luke. I think it's 41 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And C because camels don't produce a lot of milk and the way 42 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that you operated areas completely different, 43 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 but it's a very high-end healthy product and to produce that properly is expensive. 44 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Camel milk has been popular in the Middle East and Africa for thousands of years 45 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and Australia is nowhere. Close to cracking the list of top producers. 46 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Laura thinks she can help expand the products reach Beyond, just being a fat though. 47 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, we had a chat with her target audience. 48 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Would you be willing to try the camel milk today? Yeah. All right. Sure. 49 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 What do you think it actually tastes a lot like goats milk without 50 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the pungent taste. Yeah, 51 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 but you have a little bit of milk are if they tell you the stash. 52 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Would you pay $25 for a liter of camel-milk? Maybe once and then see how I go, 53 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 maybe? Okay, that's like four times, 54 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the amount of get almond milk and I guess as a novelty, it's all right, 55 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Laurens Farm isn't the only one of its kind 56 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 around a dozen other camel. Dairies have popped up in Australia since 2014. 57 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And the industry is growing according to one report 58 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 its projected to grow by 8% globally each year, for the next seven years. 59 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's a projection that someone like Jeff flood co-owner of Summerland camel, farm 60 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is really banking on nearly eight hundred camels. Now, 61 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 besides our operation here represents pretty much 60% of the industry on in total 62 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in volume. So it's a huge R&D project here about. Well, how do we build the heard? 63 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We've got to take a feral animal and convince it that it's 64 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 safe to be here. 65 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's okay to give up milks. It was a whole training 66 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and domestication process in the front. Enjoy. 67 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So this forms a super clean room? 68 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Okay, and there are some some stuff in jars and some yeah, 69 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 some Tupperware. What's going on here? This is all that cheese prototyping. 70 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So this was this top secret. 71 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Yes. A lot of that is actually true. 72 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Nobody's done stuff with camel milk work, where you have. So, 73 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 for example, who is anyone made a Parmesan cheese out of a coma. Well, we have. 74 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So this is, this morning's milk. 75 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That is so white.

It doesn't taste strong like goats milk 80 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 little bit on the salty side. 81 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's really clean. 82 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 What excited really clean mouth feel so it spreads evenly across the mouth. 83 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The fat molecules. 84 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Like I said, but really small 85 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and you get the full flavor of the milk all the way through. 86 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 What is the future of this industry?
