About Sheep cheese
Sheep cheese is a flavorful dairy product crafted from sheep's milk, commonly found in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines. Originating from regions with rich pastoral traditions, it is prized for its creamy texture and robust, tangy flavor. Nutritionally, sheep cheese is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12 and riboflavin, supporting bone health and energy metabolism. It tends to have higher fat content compared to cow or goat cheeses, providing a source of healthy fats, though moderation is key for those monitoring calorie intake. Additionally, sheep cheese often boasts higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may offer anti-inflammatory benefits. Its unique composition makes it an excellent choice for individuals sensitive to cow’s milk, as it is typically easier to digest. From soft varieties like feta to aged options like Pecorino Romano, sheep cheese adds depth and nutrition to diverse culinary creations.
