Types of dairy products There are more than 30 main products made from milk with a number of sub-products in each category. Dairy products include:
Got Milk? is an international organization supporting dairy products, especially Milk . History Most dairy products were developed in Europe , the Middle East and Africa ; the people of these continents have traditionally been the most active in terms of exploiting Cattle as a primary food source. Some dairy products originate from other countries, like India n Ghee . A small number of non- Cow dairy products exist like Italian Water Buffalo Mozzarella cheese, Yak butter in Tibet or the fermented Horse milk drink called Airag in Mongolia . Dairy products were exported to the rest of the world during the 16th and 17th centuries. They are now universally popular, despite the fact that some people cannot consume them in adulthood because of Lactose Intolerance . Criticism Vegan s and some Vegetarian s avoid dairy products due to various reasons, such as Ethic al, Health , Environment al considerations, and others. Eggs as dairy? Egg s and milk products are in some circumstances grouped together under the heading of dairy, probably because fresh eggs were often sold by milkmen. For example, the Open Directory Project at one point listed cooking eggs as a subcategory of cooking dairy products. However, dictionary definitions of "dairy" are limited to milk products and, as a result, will always exclude eggs and egg products. Beef as dairy? Since dairy products are generally defined as Food stuffs produced from Milk , rather than foodstuffs produced from a cow, beef is not considered a dairy product. Beef is not derived from milk. Dairy products include food made from (or consisting of) the milk of any animal, so if beef were to be considered a dairy product, any other meat from a milk-producing animal (e.g. goat) would be considered dairy as well.
