I never knew carabao's milk can taste so good -- and so fresh! I guess the thought of drinking a horned black animal's milk put me off but the fresh air and verdant rolling hills of Bukidnon convinced me to take a sip.
Hubby and I spent two days at the Philippine Carabao Center in the heart of Bukidnon. The center sold, what else, but carabao's milk products. My taste buds agree with some new found friends that carabao's milk does taste fresher and lighter than cow's milk. I also didn't experience the usual tummy twirl after drinking a whole glass-full (it's called lactose intolerance). For those whose stomachs can take a beating, I highly recommend sampling all the center's freezers have to offer, including the super rich chocolate milk, soft milk candies (pastillas) and of course, the fresh milk.
I also enjoyed inhaling the fresh air, sans the refuse of carabao from the adjacent farm, and marveled at the utter lack of "urban development" for miles. If those hills were in Manila, they would've been leveled and sold to the real estate developer with the highest bid.
Anyhow, kudos to the PCC and the Bukidnon local government for keeping it's hills alive with the sound of moo-sic.
