Camel Set Yoghurt
Camel set yoghurt is fermented camel milk left to gel in the pot. The set is usually softer and more delicate than cow or buffalo because camel milk proteins and fat form a different network; some traditional products stay closer to thick drinkable than firm cup set. Chill well and spoon gently. Flavour is clean, slightly sweet-salty, and distinct—serve plain or with dates. Do not expect Greek density without straining and fortification. Specialty product outside camel-dairy regions.
