Sheep's Milk Cheese

Like cow’s milk cheeses, cheese made from sheep’s milk encompasses a wide and delicious range of both world-famous classics and lesser-known variations. Leading the list of iconic sheep’s milk cheeses are Manchego, Roquefort, Pecorino, and Feta, four distinct types of cheese that speak to the diversity of the category. Varying in appearance, these cheeses share a unifying flavor profile, with younger wheels maintaining a sweet nuttiness, and aged varieties developing savory notes of roasted meat--often, the taste and aroma is aptly noted to be “sheepy,” describing the notes of lanolin that can appear in these lactic delights.
