What is the difference between cow, goat and sheeps milk cheese?
Over 300 varieties of cow’s milk cheeses are made in the United States alone, the most popular milk. Cow’s milk cheese is desirable because of its varied fat content, and the wide range of cheese that can be made from it successfully. Cow’s milk can be crafted into both fresh and aged cheeses, and is used for cottage cheese, triple crme, mozzarella and everything in between. Goat’s milk cheeses are known for their white color and tangy flavor. When goat’s milk cheeses are aged, the tangy flavor gives way to creamy and earthy flavors. It is the most easily digested of the three milks. Sheep’s milk cheeses are the least familiar of the three throughout the United States. Those who love sheep’s milk cheeses adore its nutty, earthy and sometimes gamey flavor. The color of sheep’s milk cheese falls somewhere between the color of goat and cow’s milk cheeses. Like goat’s milk, sheep’s milk is also easily digested.
