Why is sheep milk a superfood?

Did you know that sheep milk contains almost twice as much protein and calcium as cow's milk? Find out why health-conscious people are increasingly choosing sheep dairy products.

📊 Facts about sheep milk

Sheep milk is exceptionally nutritious. Here are a few numbers that speak for themselves:

2× more protein than cow's milk

193 mg calcium per 100 ml — 50% more than cow's milk

5× more niacin (vit. B3) than cow's milk

easy to digest — small fat globules

These characteristics make sheep milk and the cheeses produced from it particularly suitable for people with a sensitive digestive system, growing children and athletes.
