Mild sheep's milk cheese

This sheep's milk cheese comes from Hijlaard in Friesland, where Lacaune sheep graze on the region's rich, heavy clay soil. The grass grown on this land gives the milk an exceptionally high fat content and protein richness, which you can taste immediately in the cheese: wonderfully creamy, smooth and surprisingly mild.

Sheep's milk gives cheese a character all its own, something you simply won't find in cow's milk or goat's milk cheeses. The flavor is fuller and creamier, with a subtle sweetness that makes this cheese remarkably approachable. Whether you enjoy it on bread at breakfast, pack it for lunch, or serve it on a charcuterie and cheese board, it never fails to impress.

Pairs well with: a crisp Vermentino, a light rosé beer, or a glass of fresh mint tea. Delicious on bread with honey, alongside a fresh salad, or on a cheese board with Mediterranean accents. Pair it with our Pecorino for an Italian sheep's milk cheese comparison, or with the Manchego for the Spanish take.
