Goat & Ewe’s Milk Cheese
Goat cheese is a creamy and tangy dairy product made from goat's milk. It has a distinct flavour that can range from mild and fresh to sharp and earthy, depending on how long it is aged. Soft goat cheese is smooth and spreadable, often used in salads, sandwiches or on crackers, while aged varieties become firmer with a more complex taste. It is valued not only for its unique flavour but also for being easier to digest than cow's milk cheese for some people. Rich in nutrients like calcium and protein, goat cheese is a versatile ingredient that adds depth and character to both simple and gourmet dishes alike.
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 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.
