breast milk cheese singly france

Oftentimes you come to the logical realization that life is stranger than fiction, even stranger than the fiction from your most oddball, esoteric films.This farm is so strange that I have to believe it really exists - though, my first thought was that it’s a hoax.

Le Petit Singly is a farm that specializes in making cheese from women’s breast milk. Are you imagining the milking process? Admittedly, that imagery makes me come to the conclusion that it’s an absolutely bizarre and crazy world of cheesemaking in little ole Singly, France. But, no. I think the “donors” bring their milk to the farm, or something like that.

The cheese is produced exactly like it would be for cow’s milk and apparently tastes like it has hints of hazelnut. I still have my doubts about its existence, though. The farm says the cheese is rich in vitamins and nutrients but I don’t think these survive after being ultra-pasteurized. Also, they have an “AB” label, which is the official label for organic products. Does that mean that the women all grazed on organic?

Anyway, you can order breast milk cheese online from le Petit Singly, if you’re interested. Will this be the next trend in the foodie world? You know, something on the menu at Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry (or Per Se), El Bulli or your un-run-of-the-mill experimental haute cuisine. I can hear the waiter now, “Your next course, course 5 out of 13 courses, is a palette cleanser consisting of deep fried fois gras marbles coated in a crispy fig and pine nut crumble. The fois gras marbles are fried in extra virgin Argan oil that was infused with 6 very rare and different herbs found only around the area surrounding Mount Kilamanjaro. The fois gras marbles sit proudly on their foundation of 5 paper-thin slices of exclusive fromage duh Fwahnce (”cheese” is too ordinary) made from FRENCH mother’s milk. (”breast milk” sounds too scary and thus, not very posh.) In between each slice of fromage is a succulent layer of organic creme fraiche, Beluga caviar, French capers and candied pecans - and the whole ensemble is lightly splashed with aged, vintage balsamic vinegar. Oh, and by the way, you must eat this dish wearing these 3D glasses to experience the full visual and culinary effect combined. Bon Appetit.”

Comment by Carol 06.10.07 @ 10:45 am

Where do they find cows that give human breast milk?

And what do their udders look like?

Humans find their own milk disgusting? Now THAT’S weird.

Comment by MLS 06.13.07 @ 5:39 am

i think that humans find the part about making cheese out of their own milk then eating it - disgusting.

Comment by ptinfrance 06.13.07 @ 11:41 am

I don’t see any problem with this type of cheese as long as it is my wife’s produce, she is tops!

Comment by Matt 06.18.07 @ 10:24 pm

Comment by ptinfrance 06.19.07 @ 6:04 am

Comment by ptinfrance 07.20.07 @ 1:04 pm

I’m with Bob Dylan [Thunder On The Mountain] “I sucked the milk out of a thousand cows!”… as for me; one cow will have to do!

Comment by Peter John Raimo 07.21.07 @ 10:00 pm

i hope that cow doesn’t know you call her a cow.

Comment by ptinfrance 07.22.07 @ 4:47 am

Comment by ptinfrance 07.23.07 @ 9:19 am

it’s perfectly possible to make cheese out of human milk. it’s consistency might be a little off key but still perfectly possible…..

Comment by David L 08.21.07 @ 4:42 pm

Suport the woman for not spilling

Comment by carl 01.01.08 @ 7:27 am

Here’s a marketing idea. Make a soft cheese version and squeeze it from a little plastic breasts sold in egg cartons.

Comment by Luigi 01.24.08 @ 10:41 pm

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME

Comment by lars 02.04.08 @ 5:46 pm

Comment by andras 03.19.08 @ 7:56 pm

Disgusting

Comment by meshmesh 04.05.08 @ 11:20 pm

Well, i googled it because i was going down a list of cheeses that i know of and then human cheese hit me and i was like i wonder if anyone makes it and then i found this and was disgusted. I would not want to eat some woman’s milk that has been aged to cheese. Disgusting!!

Comment by Meredith 04.07.08 @ 7:22 pm

Is it free range?

Comment by Zero 04.09.08 @ 12:37 pm

Easy to tell by the site being a cheesy free lycos members site and covered with ads that it’s not a real company’s web site. If you attempt order you’ll see they say it’s fake.

Comment by duh 04.09.08 @ 2:24 pm

And whose babies are going unfed so that this firm can make more money? Harriet

Comment by Harriet 04.10.08 @ 1:50 pm

Don’t you think it is weird how we regard it as “normal” for us to consumer the milk of another species but weird to consume milk from our own species (as nature obviously gave us the capability to do)?

Comment by pnutslab 04.11.08 @ 9:51 am

Funny how our culture influences us and some find this “disgusting”. If aliens were visiting the earth, they’d probably find it very strange that we drink the milk of another species (cows) and not our own.

Comment by Bret 04.11.08 @ 11:47 am

Finally! Vegans can eat tasty cheese without feeling guilty that the milk was taken against the will of an animal. Think about it. If the milk is freely offered, no qualms!!!

How bout Mac & Breast Milk Cheese!!!

Comment by Josh 04.12.08 @ 10:57 am

Ok, so it sounds really creepy. . . but why the gross out? Did everyone forget you were sucking your mama’s ta tas at one point in your life? If the imagery of human breast milk freaks you out (cuz afterall this came from some woman’s boobs, whom you have never met) how many of you would be quick to suck on a cow’s udder?

Comment by Master Nyte 04.12.08 @ 9:07 pm

I wonder if they have a range of underpant cheese for those of use that prefer a sharper taste?

Comment by loves2spooj 04.15.08 @ 11:56 pm

At you can read
about one mother’s attempt. She writes:
“It turned out that breast milk can not
curdle, because the protein content is lower,
and because the protein in breast milk is more
easily digested compared to cow’s milk. That’s
why, unmodified cow’s milk is unsuitable for
babies. And on the other hand, adding acid to
further ‘digest’ breastmilk protein won’t
curdle the milk.

“So, the moral of the story, YOU CANNOT MAKE CHEESE OUT OF BREASTMILK. Don’t even try.”

So you can believe one site, or you can
believe the other…

Let me try that URL again for the cheese
attempt story. It’s this:

Must be quite an odd milking process. Done by machine or by hand?
