What it is

Cultured sheep's milk is milk from sheep that has been fermented by beneficial bacteria, similar to how yogurt or buttermilk is made. This process changes the milk's flavor and texture, often making it tangier and thicker.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured sheep's milk primarily for its distinct tangy flavor and creamy texture. It is commonly found in dairy products like cheeses, yogurts, and dips, as well as in prepared foods such as pasta sauces and frozen entrees where a rich, slightly sour note is desired.

Health notes

Cultured sheep's milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients found in milk. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated similar cultured dairy products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming cultured sheep's milk in typical amounts.

Allergen info

Cultured sheep's milk is derived from sheep's milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
