Letter: Churning out a milk-fat miracle
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: In his article on Camembert cheese ('Spread the curd', 1 October), Tony Kelly describes how 'surrounded by ancient churns and laurel boxes, we learnt of the process by which three pints of milk are turned into a pound of cheese, 45 per cent fat . . .'.
Since three pints of milk weigh approximately 3.8lb with at best a fat content of 6 per cent, I think you owe it to British dairy farmers to tell them how to perform this miracle.
Yours truly,
