Sheep’s milk is a very white milk with a rich, creamy, luxurious taste but without it being too strong and over powering. The milk itself has many beneficial affects…..
Compared to other milks it has a higher fat level, but don’t be put of by this, 45% of the fatty acids are either mono or polyunsaturated fats. It is lower in the saturated fatty acids so in comparison to other milks the types of fat provided in sheep’s milk provide a reduction in cholesterol and the provision of energy instead of weight gain.
Sheep milk contains almost 100% more calcium and 33% more protein amino acids, vitamins and minerals than cow’s milk. This fat and protein break down more rapidly in the stomach which helps digestion.
It has been said that sheep milk can aid the treatment of asthma, eczema, skin problems and other related conditions as it is high in both calcium and zinc.
People with an allergy to milk protein or an intolerance to lactose can often drink sheep milk and suffer no ill effect. During the cheese making process much of the lactose is actually lost within the whey.
