Ewes Milk Cheese
Ewes milk cheese, made from the milk of sheep, is known for its rich, creamy texture and distinctive, slightly sweet flavour. Because sheep's milk contains higher levels of fat and protein than cows or goats' milk, cheese made from it tends to be more indulgent and fuller bodied. Popular varieties include aged cheese like Pecorino Romano and Manchego, which develop firm textures and complex, nutty flavours over time. Softer ewe’s milk cheeses can be smooth and buttery, making them ideal for spreading or pairing with fruits and honey. Valued for both their taste and nutritional richness, ewes milk cheeses are a staple in many traditional cuisines and bring depth and character to a wide range of dishes.
