Milk facts

Buffalo. Water buffaloes provide 11% of the world's milk, which is much more than goats (2%, third place). Buffalo's milk contains higher levels of total solids, crude protein, fat than cow milk; it gives therefore more cheese, butter and other dairy products. The top buffalo milk producers are India and Pakistan.

Seal. Sea mammals are warm-blooded, but live in cold waters - so they really need the isolating layer of fat. Dolphin milk contains 35% of fat, seal and whale - up to 50%. It is twelve times more than in human or cow milk.

The Chinese do not tolerate lactose. The digestive capacity of lactose disappears in 95% of Chinese after the end of infancy.This is a typical process for all mammals, the white race is an exception.

Sheep milk is 9% fat. Cow, goat and human - approx. 4%

Buffalo. Mozzarella is traditionally made from Italian buffalo's milk, although there are several variants made from other types of milk. It is used for most types of pizza and several pasta dishes, or served with sliced tomatoes and basil in Caprese salad.
