Our Sheep Milk
Why is our milk so special?
All of our milk comes from our own flock of dairy ewes.
Our sheep graze outside all year round, apart from just prior to lambing, when we bring them inside to make sure they get the extra attention they need at this time. We minimise the amount of concentrates fed to the sheep, as we aim to be as sustainable as we can, making the most of the natural resources we have. We think that as our sheep are grass fed, this makes love ewe sheep milk extra special. James is a bit of a grass geek and spends many an hour nurturing his grass!
Tasty
Sweet and rich, milder than goat's milk. Sheep's milk is a tasty alternative to cow's milk, yet still has that creamy flavour we love.
Easy to digest
Many people with dairy and lactose intolerance find that they can digest sheep's milk better than cow's milk. This might be due to the different structure and composition of the proteins in sheep milk. The fat globules are smaller that those in cows milk so may be more easily absorbed.
Some report that sheep milk may be beneficial to those with eczema and other skin conditions. We would love to hear your experiences.
Highly nutritious
Sheep's milk is a power house of nutrients. Fresh sheep's milk has higher levels of vitamins - A, B₁, B₂, B₆, B₁₂, C, E and minerals – Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Zinc than cow's and goat's milk. It is also higher in protein.
