If you are looking for experiences with donkey milk, you will find many reports online with big promises. Objectively speaking, donkey milk is a food with a mild, slightly sweet taste – health claims are not authorized for it. Here you will find out what you can realistically expect and how to critically evaluate experience reports.
What you can realistically expect
The most honest experience with donkey milk is a taste experience. Donkey milk is thinner than cow's milk, low in fat and slightly sweet. This is due to its composition: usually under 1 g of fat and about 6–7 g of lactose per 100 ml.
- Taste: mild, fresh, slightly sweet.
- Consistency: thin, more like low-fat milk.
- Use: pure, in coffee, in muesli, for cooking and baking.

Read experience reports online critically
Many texts about donkey milk contain personal stories in which complaints allegedly changed after drinking it. Such reports should be read with caution. Here is what you can look out for:
- Individual case instead of evidence: A single experience says nothing about whether a food changes something in other people.
- Many influences: Whether someone feels better depends on many factors – not on a single product.
- Advertising in story form: Some reports are made up or exaggerated to sell a product.
- Legal framework: In the EU, foods may only be advertised with authorized health claims. There are none for donkey milk.
Why we do not show experience reports with health claims
At this address, there used to be stories about people whose complaints allegedly changed. We have completely removed these stories. They were not documented as genuine reports and could have raised false expectations.
Foods do not treat diseases. If you have health complaints, your doctor is the right person to contact. Donkey milk is no substitute for medical treatment or medication.
Important facts before trying it for the first time
So that your own experience gets off to a good start, you should know a few points:
- Donkey milk contains milk protein and, with about 6–7 g per 100 ml, more lactose than cow's milk (about 4.7 g). If you have a milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance, please consult your doctor to see if it is suitable for you.
- Donkey milk is no substitute for breast milk or infant formula.
- For children, during pregnancy and breastfeeding: speak to your doctor beforehand.
- You will always find the ingredients and allergens on the label.
The exact composition is described in the post Ingredients and nutritional values of donkey milk.
Experiences with donkey milk cosmetics
Experiences with care products can be described a little more concretely – in a cosmetic sense. Cosmetics with donkey milk care for the skin, moisturize, and ensure a pleasant, supple skin feel. Many also appreciate the texture and scent. We do not make statements about skin diseases. You can find an overview of the care products in the category Donkey milk cosmetics.
How to have your own experience
- Store the frozen donkey milk at −18 °C.
- Thaw it slowly in the refrigerator at 2–7 °C.
- Follow the instructions on the label.
- First try a small glass pure, well chilled – this is the best way to get to know the taste.
Further tips on use can be found on the page Donkey milk use.
Why donkey milk has its price
An experience many have when buying for the first time: donkey milk is significantly more expensive than other milk. This has understandable reasons. A donkey gives about 1–2 liters of milk per day – and that is in addition to providing for its foal. It is milked by hand or in small quantities. DON DONKEY'S donkey milk comes from European farms, is laboratory tested in Germany, and delivered frozen. Read more in the post Why donkey milk is so rare.
Our conclusion: The most reliable experience is your own – with taste, in the kitchen, and in care. Everything beyond that belongs in the hands of a doctor and not in experience reports.
