What it is

Organic sheep's milk is milk produced by sheep raised under organic farming standards, meaning they are not given antibiotics or synthetic hormones and are fed organic feed. It is a white liquid produced by the mammary glands of female sheep. Sheep's milk is richer in fat and protein than cow's milk.

Why it's used

Sheep's milk is used to make cheese, yogurt, and butter. Its rich flavor and creamy texture make it ideal for artisanal cheeses like Pecorino Romano and Roquefort. It can also be used in baked goods and other dairy products.

Health notes

Sheep's milk is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. The FDA considers milk from mammals, including sheep, to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated dairy products, and JECFA has evaluated milk constituents. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Sheep's milk is derived from sheep and is a major allergen for individuals with a milk allergy. It does not contain gluten.
