What is Milk
According to R.D 9/5/29 n ° 994 and subsequent amendments, milk is defined as:
'an opaque white or yellowish liquid, with a sweetish taste deriving from the regular, complete and uninterrupted milking of the mammary glands of animals in good health and nutrition ". Milk from cows can simply be called milk, while for other species the origin must always be specified (sheep milk, donkey milk, etc.).
NB: the term milk CANNOT be used for the marketing of vegetable drinks. So for soy-based drinks - such as rice-based drinks etc. - the name "milk" is improper and prohibited for commercial purposes.
Buffalo milk
Buffalo milk is the product of the mammary glandular secretion of the female buffalo; the taste is sweet and opaque white to the eye.
