Sheep milk
Sheep milk is creamy milk from ewes, consumed fresh or used in fermented dairy foods and cheeses, with processing forms varying.
About Sheep milk
Sheep milk is the milk produced by ewes. It is typically opaque and creamy, with a rich, mildly sweet flavour; its composition and taste vary with breed, feed, season, and handling.
It is consumed as fluid milk and is also used to make fermented dairy foods and cheeses. Products may be sold fresh, pasteurised, fermented, or concentrated, and these forms are not nutritionally interchangeable. The name alone does not specify processing or whether the milk is whole or otherwise adjusted.
