What it is

This is milk from sheep that has been pasteurized (heated to kill harmful bacteria) and then cultured. Culturing involves adding specific bacteria, which ferment the milk's natural sugars, creating a tangy flavor and thicker texture similar to yogurt.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured sheep's milk primarily to produce cheeses, giving them a distinct flavor and texture. It is also used in other dairy products and sometimes in sauces or prepared meals where a rich, slightly tangy dairy component is desired.

Health notes

Cultured pasteurized sheep's milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients found in milk. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk and dairy products, but specific evaluations for cultured sheep's milk as a distinct ingredient are not widely published.

Allergen info

Sheep's milk is a major allergen. It is not related to gluten.
