What Makes Sheep Milk Feta Different?

Full-Flavoured: A balance of slightly salty, tangy, and richly complex flavours makes it an excellent addition to a variety of dishes.
-
Stored in Brine: Best Baa Dairy’s feta is stored in brine made from its own whey, which helps preserve the flavour and keeps the texture consistent.
-
Minimal Salt: With a minimal amount of sea salt, it offers the perfect saltiness without being overpowering.
The Nutritional Advantages of Sheep Milk Feta
Sheep milk feta isn’t just a delicious treat it’s packed with nutritional benefits that make it stand out from other cheeses:
-
Higher in Protein: Sheep milk contains more protein than cow’s or goat’s milk, helping support muscle recovery and overall health.
-
More Calcium and Phosphorus: Sheep milk feta is an excellent source of calcium, which supports strong bones and teeth, and phosphorus, which helps with overall bone and tissue health.
-
Rich in Vitamins: Sheep milk is naturally higher in B12, A, and E, essential vitamins that support immune function, skin health, and overall wellness.
-
