Sure. Why not? It's totally natural and if we feed our kids breast milk, we should be able to eat it as cheese ourselves.

No. Breast milk is for babies and shouldn't be consumed in any other form. It's a total publicity stunt on the chef's part.

Sure, why not...We consume breast milk from cows, goats, etc. I think it's the sexual reference and (property) that gets to people.
It's a shame, really. There are breast milk banks that could make a lot better use of her copious milk production.
If I'd had an overabundance of milk with my second baby, I might have made cheese and given it to my daughter - but most likely I would have just given her the milk to drink. Personally, I wouldn't eat it.
Hundred years ago she would be jailed to feed guest with her own milk,or vorst she would be burned as a wich!
No, a hundred years ago and 10,000 years ago wet-nurses, as they were called, were commonly hired to feed other people's children, and human breast milk was prescribed for feeding invalids and senile patients. There were so many children born dead that a woman who had lost a child could make a good living off her milk.

You did drink from a cup right...scratch that...I don't wanna know. Creepy!
I say, sure, why not?? I am a biologist and I would be much happier to eat cheese made from breast milk from someone that I knew had not been pumped full of growth hormones or antibiotics as most cows are!
Sure I would eat breast milk cheese; many of us have enjoyed breast milk from our wives when they were nursing our babies.
It used to be said that when a young couple marries they don't need much money as they can live on love for the first 9 months, and after that there is milk in the family.
Well, if you do decide you're going into the breast milk cheese business...

Been there, done that. Best stuff on the planet. Couldn't get enough of it. Would buy it if it were available in stores.
Yes i would! already have! and would do it again! tastes sweet and delicious and had to fight my daughter for a boob like pups over not enough teets! :)
Methinks it's a GREAT idea. I drink the stuff myself when my wife has too much and has to pump (even better directly from the dispenser). Would NEVER consider throwing it out; that stuff is like liquid gold. Family of 10 kids and we have used "Mommy milk" on our cereal as well s to heal minor sraps and cuts on the kids. Whoever invented it was a GENIOUS!!!!!!
Duh!! Dummy me mispelled genius. LOL There goes MY credibility. No matter; I still think it's a GREAT idea and I aplaud the inginuity.
I dont see the big Eww factor, You drink milk from cows and all those other animals. Drinking human milk is a natural thing.
If your saying EWWW Then dont feed it to you babies
Just because something is edible doesn't always mean you should eat/drink it!
HEY!!!! You prudes out there. DOn't promulgate your inhibitions on the rest of us. Maybe you were denied your mother's milk when you were infants; for that I feel sorry for you. It would surely e xplain some of your problems and hangups. I am the father of 10 children who were all breastfed and can atest to the benefits and advantages my children received as a result of it. Breastmilk is milk. Period!!! Doesn't matter where it comes from; it is MILK. Sure, my wife doesn't have four stomachs and didn't have to sit on the couch chewing her cud for hours to produce it but I'd count that on the plus side. Breastmilk is HEALTHY and curative and beneficial. It kills cancer cells on contact. It cures cuts and scraps fives times faster than the normal process. It tastes different bit I understand goat milk tastes different than cow milk. GET OFF YOUR PRUDISH HIGH HORSES and stop spewing your perverted personal inhibitions out to the rest of us who just see natural things as natural. Breasts are not a sex organ; they are mamary glands intended to feed our children. When you prudes see natural and beautiful things as sexual perversions, you only lay bare your own personal problems. I feel sorry for you. All of your "Ewwwww's" and "that's gross" sound like the grunting of pigs reacting to pearls being tossed before them. GROW UP!
How is breastmilk cheese any worse than eating cheese from a smelly animal covered in fur that likes to lay around in the dirt. Put things into perspective people!
Total publicity stunt. Most people (in their right minds) would not buy/eat this product. How can you know for sure who is behind the production of this milk. First off, you don't know if the woman is using legal or illegal drugs that may make you have some kind of reaction to the cheese. It is not like she is going to hand over her medical records for you to review before have some. Plus if the business takes off--even though he says that the milk is only available for a limited time---who is to say he will not buy the milk from more "iffy" women and pass it off as his wife's milk? Just like "balloon boy", I think this was a publicity stunt and now his business is going to do that much better---not because people want to try the cheese, but people want to try the place that makes the cheese. Even "mildly bad" publicity can be "good" publicity. Look at it this way...who would want to ingest a STRANGER'S bodily fluids? This could easily become a public health nightmare.
