    Artist serves human breast milk cheese

    breastpumpThey say breast is best — but most fromage fans would probably draw the line at a cheese made from human milk.

    Not, however, Mexican artist Raul Ortega Ayala, who served cheese made from milk donated by a woman at the launch of an exhibition at a gallery in London.

    Ayala’s creation was served with crackers at the David Roberts Art Foundation before a screening of his “At Your Service” video.

    The edible artwork — designed to “explore our first encounter with food” — was titled Alejandra Ortiz-Reynosos, after the woman who donated to milk.

    A spokesperson for the exhibition told the Express newspaper that the cheese is made “in the normal way — it’s just a standard process.”

    There are no known commerically available cheeses made from breast milk. A web site advertising a French farm — Le Petit Singly — said to use human ingredients in its cheese production, is believed to be a hoax,

    Last year a restaurant in Switzerland announced it would be serving dishes using human breast milk as an ingredient, although cheese was not on the menu. A similar venture in China’s Hunan province was closed down in 2003 by horrified health officials.
