Camel Cheese

Nancy Abeiderrahmane, born Nancy Jones of Essex, won the 1993 Rolex Award (£20,000) for her project to produce and export the cheese from her dairy in Nouakchott, Mauritania. However this is no ordinary dairy, since it specialises in pasteurising camel's milk supplied by semi-nomadic herders. The milk Nancy is processing is highly nutritious and, being pasteurised, is healthier than the raw milk drunk by the local population.

For more information on the dairy see Nancy's web pages at:
