Sheep's milk is the raw, whole milk produced by domestic sheep, used widely across the Mediterranean and Middle East — most often as the base for cheeses such as feta, manchego and pecorino rather than consumed as a drinking milk. Per 100 g, it provides 108 kcal, 5.7 g of protein, 6.5 g of fat and 5.4 g of carbohydrates, with virtually all of the carbohydrate coming from lactose (5.1 g) and no dietary fibre. It is notably rich in calcium at 190 mg per 100 g, alongside 158 mg of phosphorus and 137 mg of potassium. It also contributes 30 mcg of vitamin A per 100 g. No glycemic index value is established for sheep's milk. It fits vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, keto and Mediterranean dietary patterns.
How many calories in sheep's milk?
