Alternative Milk Chocolates

Milk chocolate bars are incredibly popular around the world, but dark chocolate seems to present itself as a more premium option in the eyes of many consumers. But The Mast Brothers are setting themselves apart as high-end chocolate producers by making milk chocolate from sources other than cow's milk—the MAST 'Goat Milk Chocolate' is made with Dutch goat milk, while the 'Sheep Milk Chocolate' is prepared with milk from Italian sheep.

Rather than adopting homespun branding that features farm motifs, the design-centric packaging gives away no hints that there's anything unusual about these milk chocolate bars.

Consumers craving exotic food and beverages have created a unique niche in the specialty dairy market that's being filled with ice cream desserts, yogurts and milk beverages that are made with unconventional animal products.
