Yes, and we've milked it for all it's worth.

I apologize, a camel is most definitely a ruminating animal. So we are once
again left with the original enigma:
>Camel's milk does not curdle.

However as your article points out:
> Camelids (camels and llama types are considered to be primitive ruminants
without the full complexity of the higher ruminants.
This may mean they do not produce chymosin and therefore do not react to it.
I will need to study this further.
Luckily for the list I will not post my findings back to the list because I
understand that this is a *cheesy* excuse for a thread. ; )

>Camel's milk does not curdle.
Only the milk of ruminating (cud chewing) animals curdles. These include the
bovine, ovine and deer families.
---------------------------------------------------------
The ruminants include other members of the artiodactyl order (even toed
hoof) including giraffes and pronghorn.  Cattle, buffalo, bison, true
antelope, sheep and goats are all in the same family.  Camelids (camels and
llama types are considered to be primitive ruminants without the full
complexity of the higher ruminants.  The non-ruminant artiodactyls are pigs,
peccaries and hippos.  Horses, tapirs and rhinos make up the odd toed hoof
and do not chew cuds.
