Sheep & Goat Milk

Milk from sheep and goats is a white liquid produced by female sheep and goats. It is a primary source of milk for cheese and yogurt production in many parts of the world. Sheep and goat milk have a different flavor profile and fat composition compared to cow's milk.

Manufacturers use sheep and goat milk primarily to produce cheeses like feta, ricotta, and chèvre. It can also be used in yogurts and other dairy products. Its distinct flavor is often sought after in specialty food items.

Sheep and goat milk are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. They are a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated dairy products, but specific evaluations for sheep and goat milk alone are not always distinct from general dairy assessments. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption.
