and Sahara cheese made from camel milk. A mini modern dairy plant set up
privately guarantees the survival of many traditional herdsmen in Mauritania.
This is one of the few, if not the only, plant that pasturizes camel (dromedary)
milk and produces various types of camel's cheese. The project provides
technical assistance and subsidizes the machinery needed for pasturization
and cheese making. Photo by I. Balderi Mauritania, 1995 (source:
