If you thought you were exotic for sampling goat cheese, it's time for a reality check. That's because something new has hit the dairy scene: cheese crafted out of a woman's breast milk.You see, in an effort to reduce the stash of "mommy's milk" sitting in New York Chef Daniel Angerer's freezer, he turned the self-dubbed "liquid gold" into gourmet cheese.
"We have an 8-week-old daughter and my wife is fortunate enough to have plenty of milk available," explains Angerer, an Austrian native who has worked in a variety of New York restaurants. "We had to make space in our freezer. The milk is like liquid gold, you know. I couldn't pour it down the drain."
Having made cheese plenty of times before, Angerer got to work.
"It was the same process as making regular cheese," he tells Asylum. "It takes about eight hours to curdle the milk and then the aging starts and you change the cloth for as long as you want it to age."
The curious chef let his first batch sit for an entire two weeks before he deemed it ready to taste. And when he actually placed a lump of the stuff on his palette?
To add a touch more flavor, Angerer decided to take his mommy's milk creation one step further by pairing it with ultra-fancy crusts and sauces. One rendition included a caramelized-pumpkin-encrusted cheese ball with texturized concord grapes. Another tantalizing concoction includes soft mommy's milk cheese rolled in dehydrated porcini mushroom powder with a burned onion chutney. Did anyone else's mouth just water ever-so-slightly?
Anyway, since writing about the homemade cheese on his blog, Angerer has received quite a bit of feedback from fans and haters alike. "People either love the idea or they hate it," he confesses. "Some people just can't get over the mental barrier of consuming human bodily liquid. Some even call me a cannibal."
For those who would ascribe the term "cannibal" to Chef Angerer, know that A) He doesn't eat humans, and B) You don't have to try the cheese yourself.
Aside from Kathie Lee Gifford, who is scheduled to taste it this week on the "Today" show, nobody else -- aside from Angerer and his wife -- will enjoy the luxury of his wife's breast milk cheese.
In fact, this mommy's milk cheese will likely never hit the market (mostly because the FDA would not be too approving). Feel free to craft your own, though.

So if he's a cannibal, does that mean that all of us who were breast fed are cannibals? I prob. won't be trying this cheese but seriously -- some people say stupid stuff sometimes.

it takes 1 gallon of half a lb of cheese so she would have to generate up to 5 gallons to make a significant enough amount to make all of the concoctions this chef made. im in the eww catagory yet i also say to each his own hes not selling this cheese hes just being creative with it!! also when his child starts solids she will have her own cheese she can eat without the dangers of overloading the system!!

UMM....as crazy as this sounds.. human milk is MADE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION!!!!! the ENTIRE INTENTION is to provide sustenance for a HUMAN BABY!!!
And, it should be noted, that Humans are the only mammal that feeds on OTHER mammal's milk. We actually farm the stuff, and drink it into our elder years. So while this is strange, from a society perspective, its not really that weird.
the next big thing will be woman who sell their milk for money..

So, if she had such a surplus of milk, why didn't she sell or donate it to women that can't breast feed? The idea of eating cheese made from some random person's milk just seems really gross to me. Maybe it's no worse than eating cheese from some random goat or cow, but....All Ima sayin' is no thanks.

There are some women who are selling their breast milk. I saw an ad once. But I doubt she was selling any breast milk. She had tons of breast milk in her freezer. There was even a story about it somewhere.

The site you got the link from was wrong - that's not a staffer. That's Billy Dec, Chicago socialite and owner of 3 well-known establishments in Chicago. He had been on the show earlier.

This is an idiot who does not like the milk of his wife. If she was my wife there would be no stash of milk in our referigerator. She would have been breast feeding me alonside our baby. This man has only eight week old daughter and has a referigerator full of breast milk and having all the stranger taste the cheese and turn their noses. They are all idiots. If they won't eat the cheese madeout of her breast milk I want him to give all the cheese to me. I would not want pickle and bread to go with it. The reason they do not like the cheese is that they do ot know how to make it. Why go through all the trouble ? I'd drink the milk. Shame on you Chef. fakiroo5@crawler.com

What kind of idiot would distribute cheese made out of his wife's breast milk. What kind of idiot is she married to. If she were married to me I'd have all the milk not used up by our baby. I'll even have the milk of the wife of the chef or of any man who does not want the milk of his wife. fakir005@crawler.com

If you paid any attention at all, you would have noticed that statement. He is not distributing it, he and his wife are the only ones that are going to eat it.
Yeah, the whole thing is a little disturbing, but hey, men will drink it, why not eat it? I guess if the wife doesn't mind, well whatever floats their boat.

This is an idiot chef who is having his wife pump her breasts and make cheese out of her breast milk that he distributes to strangers. I'd not do it to my wife. I'd even drink the breast milk of the wife of this chef or of any man who does not want to drink the milk of his wife. Why distribute the cheese made out of her breast milk to strangers?

They are distributing the cheese to every body. They distributed it to Kelly and her guest host on live with Regis and Kelly. They ate what they could and wanted to distribute the rest to the audience. But they destroyed it. These women (Kelly and kathy) must be lesbians to eat breast milk cheese.

Did you know that research has proven that breast milk can actually save the life of a chemo patient that is protein deficient and needs certain antibodies and vitamins and cant eat anything solid? som epatients are fed it through a tube to keep thei rstrength up during the critical period that they coul ddie if they dont get the protein and antibodies found in the milk!! oh and i have tasted my own milk in the past to make sure it was still fresh fo rmy son after sitting out for a couple hours so does that make me a lesbian or just a concerned mother? id hate to see what your wife would say if she heard that come out of your mouth!! question i f aman kisses his son or a friend on the mouth or the side o fthe face does this make him gay?

Man, society is twisted. Cow's milk is designed for cows, and human milk is designed for humans. Why is it socially acceptable to consume something from a different species that is genetically designed for that species, but it's not acceptable to consume something from our own species *genetically designed* for our species?
People need to stop and think about the world around them, rather than live blindly following social rules that make absolutely no sense.
