East Friesian Dairy Sheep provide milk which produces fine yoghurt, feta and cheeses. There are 65 named sheep cheeses including Romano and Roquefort...
Dairy sheep milk has higher butterfat - 9.0% compared with cows at 3.8% and goats at 4.2% - and higher total solids at 20.4% - compared with cows at 13% and goats at 12.5%. Thus the cheese yield is almost 2 1/2 times that of cows or goats. (Home Cheese Making Ricki Carroll)
