This is a list of dairy products. A dairy product is food produced from the milk of mammals. A production plant for the processing of milk is called a dairy or a dairy factory. Dairy farming is a class of agricultural, or an animal husbandry, enterprise, for long-term production of milk, usually from dairy cows, but also from goats, sheep and camels, which may be either processed on-site or transported to a dairy factory for processing and eventual retail sale.
Dried fermented milk often mixed with various measures of sugar, salt or oil. Eaten as a snack or reconstituted as a warm beverage in Mongolia.[citation needed]

A thick cream made by indirectly heating full-cream cow's milk using steam or a water bath and then leaving it in shallow pans to cool slowly. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms 'clots' or 'clouts'.[13] It forms an essential part of a cream tea.
Composed of the higher-butterfat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. In un-homogenized milk, the fat, which is less dense, will eventually rise to the top.

Pictured is strained Greek yogurt with olive oil. The first variants of Greek yogurt appeared in ancient Greece, known as Oxygala (sour milk), which later evolved into the strained yogurt widely produced today. Variations of strained yogurt can be found throughout the world.

Haymilk (German: Heumilch, Italian: latte fieno) is dairymilk produced from animals that have mainly been fed fresh grass and (dry) hay, rather than fermented fodder. The term hay milk is registered as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed in the UK and the European Union.[24][25][26]

Native exclusively to Varanasi in the Indian State of Uttar Pradesh. It is only available during the Winter and spring season. It is made by boiling full cream Milk to half and thereafter adding sugar and Saffron. The mixture is kept in an earthen pot with its mouth covered with silk/cotton cloth.

A food product made from normal cheese and sometimes other unfermented dairy ingredients, plus emulsifiers, extra salt, food colorings, or whey. Many flavors, colors, and textures of processed cheese exist.
