1 Information on camel milk

If you have ordered fresh milk, it has never been frozen and you can therefore freeze it.

According to the FAO (the World Food Organization), camel milk is one of the healthiest animal milks. Camel milk contains no beta-lactoglobulin, the protein that plays a major role in the development of cow's milk allergy.

  • Camel milk has a shelf life of 1 year in the freezer, if not completely defrosted before. This expiry date is shown on the bottle.
  • Fresh and frozen Camel Milk can be kept in the refrigerator for ±3 days.

Once received, immediately remove the camel milk from the box and put it in the fridge or freezer.

  • Storage of the camel milk
  • Fresh Camel Milk can be kept in the fridge or in the freezer
  • Frozen Camel Milk should be stored in the freezer.
  • Let the frozen Camel Milk defrost in the fridge. This will take a few hours.
  • Due to freezing, flakes of fat may float in the milk after defrosting, this is a natural process.
  • Shaking well before use is the solution.

It is recommended to drink 1 to 2 glasses (1 glass = +/- 250 ml) of camel milk per day for optimal health effect. Sometimes it may take 2 to 3 months before you notice the effect.

2 Information on other camel milk products

The capsules themselves are not made from (pork) gelatin but from HPMC. So the shells themselves are vegan. The contents (100% camel milk powder) are obviously not vegan, but they are vegetarian.

From a 420-gram bag of powder, you can get 4.2 liters of milk.

4 I would like to order camel milk online

Fresh and frozen camel milk and products are shipped to every country within the European Union. Unfortunately, this does not include Norway, Switzerland and the UK. However, you can buy our milk in Switzerland and the UK through our resellers.

The camel milk powder, capsules and other camel milk products are sent to almost all countries in the world.

Shipping costs may vary depending on the shipping method, country and weight of your order. You can fill your shopping basket on the webshop with the desired products and enter your address. You will then see what the shipping costs are.

Due to the Brexit, we cannot ship fresh or frozen camel milk to the UK. If you place an order, it will be sent by our reseller in the UK. This one only has frozen camel milk. So our fresh camel milk is unfortunately not available in the UK. 

No unfortunately. There is a chance of customs control, this will make the milk travel for too long and not be good on arrival.

On the day of shipment you will receive an email from Miedema with information (check your spam box!). They ensure that your milk is refrigerated throughout the shipment and deliver the order to you the day after pickup.
