Sheep’s Milk vs. Cow’s Milk Cheese: What’s the Difference? | America’s Test Kitchen
Explore the rich, flavorful world of sheep’s milk cheese with Jack Bishop and Julia Collin Davison, as they break down why sheep’s milk, with its rich, buttery, and nutty flavors, is a stand-out.
Famous Classics: Pecorino Romano, Greek Feta, and Spanish Manchego are seen as the famous European varieties.
Fresh & Spreadable: Bellwether Farms (California) produces an ultra-smooth fresh sheep’s milk cheese that is milder and less acidic than fresh chèvre.
Brie-Style Bloom: Old Chatham Creamery (New York) crafts a luscious, bloomed-rind cheese aged for two months that rivals rich triple-crème.
The Ultimate Melter: Kasseri from Orino (Greece) is aged 3 to 4 months, offering a mild, buttery flavor perfect for dishes like moussaka and pastitsio.
Jack Bishop’s Favorite Pick: Ossau-Iraty from the French Pyrenees offers a firm, complex, and incredibly buttery profile that takes table cheese to the next level.

Sheep’s milk all the way! All cheese…lol..lol.
As someone who tastes "sweaty barnyard" when they try to eat goat cheese, sheep's milk cheese was such a pleasant surprise for me. I absolutely love it, and sheep's milk yogurt, and sheep butter too! 😋
Jack is far and away the most excited I have ever seen anyone get over cheese. Every dog I ever had still would be a distant second. Gotta love Jack! 😄🤗
Please cover the lactose angle. Do any of those milk sources not have lactose?
Petit Basque is the best!
No Wisconsin? Rude.
Sheep's milk is something that people with casein Alpha-s1 intolerances can have.

Kroger carries Murray’s sheep’s milk feta made in Greece. It’s my go to feta. I don’t care for the one made in Bulgaria, but it is $2 cheaper.
The cheese craving is real 🥵
