Vodka from milk: A farmer in the United Kingdom has made vodka out of milk from his herd of 250 cows on his Beaminster farm.
The Daily Mail reported that Jason Barber created the world’s first pure milk vodka, which he calls Black Cow. To make the vodka, he separate’s the milk into curds and whey.
The curds are later made into cheese and the whey is fermented to make beer, which is later distilled to make the vodka in a secret process.
Barber’s vodka took him three years to make, according to his website.
“I’m a big fan of vodka – it’s the only drink that doesn’t give me a hangover,” he told the Mail.
And now, the vodka has generated some fanfare among British celebrities, including “James Bond” actor Daniel Craig as well as Liz Hurley.
“Fresh whole milk makes an exceptionally smooth vodka with a unique creamy character,” his website states.
It adds: “Incidentally Black Cow is made from the same milk that is used to make Barber’s 1833 cheddar, winner of the World Cheese Awards Cheddar Trophy 2012.”
