Aged sheep cheese is a flavorful, nutrient-rich dairy product crafted from sheep's milk and matured over weeks to months for a complex, tangy taste. Originating from regions like the Mediterranean and Middle East, it features prominently in cuisines such as Greek, Italian, and Spanish, complementing dishes from salads to tapas. Packed with protein, calcium, and vitamins like B12, it supports bone health and energy production. Sheep's milk is naturally higher in fat and protein compared to cow’s milk, giving the cheese a rich, creamy texture, but this also means aged sheep cheese is calorie-dense and higher in saturated fat. Some varieties are also saltier due to the maturation process, which might not be ideal for individuals watching their sodium intake. Nonetheless, its robust flavor and nutritional profile make it a popular choice for balanced diets when consumed in moderation.
