What it is

Pasteurized cultured sheep milk is milk from sheep that has been heated to kill harmful bacteria and then had beneficial bacteria (cultures) added to thicken it and give it a tangy flavor. Sheep milk is naturally richer in fat and protein than cow's milk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pasteurized cultured sheep milk as a base for cheeses and other dairy products, adding a distinct flavor and creamy texture. It is commonly found in specialty cheeses, yogurt, and sometimes in pasta fillings.

Health notes

Pasteurized cultured sheep milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use in food. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated dairy products, and while specific evaluations for cultured sheep milk may vary, dairy is generally considered safe for consumption.

Allergen info

Pasteurized cultured sheep milk is derived from sheep's milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
