 Reindeer milk and its cheeses I just recently read about reindeer milk and how it has a higher fat content then any other milk. So I thought that it would make an amazing cheese. I did some more research and found that in Finland and Lapland they make cheese out of it.  They curdle it by a fire for a couple of days and end up wthe this amazing, crusty cheese called Juustoleipa, which means cheese bread in Finnish. Has anyone ever heard of or tried this cheese? Does anyone know where I might be able to find it? It just sounds so yummy. Does anyone have any other stories of strange cheeses made from different animal's milk. Would love to hear about it.

| What's wrong with human milk? Babies drink it right? It's the most natural thing in the world. It's not homogenized when it comes out and it separates easy. It kinda makes its own cheese. |

| reindeer cheese!!!!! dear 100folds....my comment was kinda tossed out there and i think it came off as dismissive-it wasnt meant to be at all  sorry! too quick on the trigger.my thought was that a lot of the fallout from chernobyl landed in the finland-lapland region. milk is one of the substances it shows up in first, and at the highest concentrations. (i'm one of a generation of people who grew up downwind from the hanford nuclear testing site that is now without a thyroid gland. my whole year in school was part of the study that linked our higher incidence of Graves disease and thyroid cancer to contaminated milk products) i understand that testing is still going on regarding food products coming out of that area and the verdict is 'still iffy'. IRREGARDLESS-reindeer cheese does sound like a cool thing- i would try it in a minute! my dh tells me that there is a group of folks up in alaska that run a herd and make artisanal products out of reindeer-like milk wine, antler artifacts and jerky. they do a 'santas sleigh' thing for schoolkids too. if they're still around betcha they're probably making cheese (that wouldnt glow in the dark!)-anyway, 'folds, theres where i'd start looking. as for the rest of you- i'd want to know the donor cheesemom really well before i spread some on a cracker- human milk is a huge potential biohazard. |

| I wouldn't think there would be much heritage of reindeer cheeses. Too cold much of the year and not much fuel for the cooking of the curd. Some fresh cheeses maybe. Phil |

| Thanks for that information redace. It's sad that we have to be so careful these days with everything we eat. Anyways, I come from Alberta in Canada and I phoned around and found a man that raises Reindeer in Northern Alberta. He says he has never tried to milk the Reindeer but if I found the time I could come up and give it a try. I don't know if I will. I'm thinking it might be a little too dangerouse for my curious mind. A hoof might destroy it all together but then again, how cool would it be to milk a reindeer!  I think I'll pass on the human cheese thanks. It reminds me of that twilight episode where the Aliens that come from outerspace are here to eat and herd us. Who knows, maybe some alien out there wants to milk our breasts too but thinks it might be a little too risky for the product.
