What it is

Pasteurized Manchega sheep's milk is milk from the Manchega breed of sheep, a breed native to the La Mancha region of Spain. The milk is heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time to kill harmful bacteria, making it safe for consumption. This process is required for most cheeses sold in the United States.

Why it's used

This milk is primarily used as the base ingredient for making Manchego cheese, a firm, flavorful cheese that is popular worldwide. It can also be used in other dairy products where a rich, distinct flavor is desired.

Health notes

Pasteurized Manchega sheep's milk is a natural food ingredient and is not subject to FDA additive regulations. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Like all dairy products, it can be part of a balanced diet. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated pasteurized sheep's milk as a food additive.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major food allergens recognized by the FDA. Consumers with a milk allergy should avoid this ingredient.
