In this edition of Taste, we take a look at the increasing popularity of camel milk. It's has less fat, more vitamins and is easier to digest than cow's milk. Some studies show it can actually reduce blood sugar levels. And scientists say it's as close as you can get to human breast milk. Not surprisingly, it has now become a popular ingredient for desserts.

Martin Van Almsick is the man behind Al Nassma, the world’s first camel milk chocolate factory. He set up the business in 2008 and started distrbuting his products in Switzerland in 2011. It was only in 2013 that the EU allowed camel milk to be imported into the bloc.
