Abu Dhabi: In a
first of its kind, a leading producer of dairy products in the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) is planning to introduce a new variety
of ice cream created from camel milk.
The Al Ain Dairy said it will be the first such product made out
of camel milk in the UAE, and also in flavours hitherto
unavailable in conventional ice cream.
"We have spent a lot of time creating flavours that we feel are
different and most importantly not available in the market," said
Abdullah Saif Al Darmaki, chief executive officer of Al Ain Dairy.
Camel milk, which is slightly saltier than cow's milk, is an
integral part of the traditional Arabian diet.
The milk has numerous health benefits that are often reported in
scientific and health researches.
Al Darmaki said the technology for making camel milk ice cream was
exactly the same as that made from cow's milk.
"But we wanted to do something completely different, which is why
we have invested in new technology to produce a range of camel
milk ice creams in niche flavours," he said.
The ice cream will be produced with pure camel milk, with no
additives.
Four flavours have been created for the ice cream and Al Darmaki
hoped they will attract people.
He said both UAE citizens and expatriates enjoy ice cream in four
flavours -- dates, saffron, caramel and chocolate.
