Greeting Cheese Enthusiasts!

I have written much about Cow’s and Goat’s milk cheeses on Cheese Traveler, but it was brought to my attention that I did not have a lot of information regarding Sheep milk cheeses.

There is much to share, so let’s get started!

Much like Goats, Sheep have been domesticated for thousands of years…way before cows…about 6,000 years ago. This most likely happened due to their size and temperament, as well as their ability to provide dairy (fresh milk/cheese), wool (clothing), as well as fresh meat.
