“Donkey milk has the taste of love,” said Fatiko Basha as she caresses her favourite, Liza, before collecting the animal’s milk. It also makes what is reputed to be one of the most expensive cheeses in the world.
On a small farm in Albania’s southern Gjirokaster region, Basha and her husband, Veiz, use donkey milk to make cheese, curd or whey.
For thousands of years, it has been praised for its numerous virtues.
The legend says that Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt, immersed herself in donkey milk baths that guaranteed her beauty and youth.
Legends aside, it “heals children, is a natural remedy for respiratory tracts, allergies and the immune system”, Fatiko Basha said.
