Benefits of sheep cheese
It provides a large amount of energy and protein, essential for our body and to keep muscles strong. The concentration of proteins varies according to the curing process of the cheese, so the most cured cheeses have a higher proportion.
They have a high protein content
High mineral content, especially iron, calcium, phosphorus and zinc. Suitable for preventing anemia, osteoporosis and decalcification. It also helps to strengthen hair, skin and teeth.
Contains group B vitamins which are very important for the proper functioning of the metabolism. This type of vitamins are eliminated in the urine, so a daily intake is very necessary. Sheep cheese is also a great source of vitamins A, D and E.
It is more digestive. Cheese is better digested than milk and, in turn, sheep's milk contains less lactose than cow's milk. It is therefore suitable for intolerant people, especially the more mature cheeses. It is also gluten-free, so it can also be consumed by coeliacs
The fatty acids in sheep cheese (omega 3 and linoleic acid) are essential for growth and beneficial for the cardiovascular system, immune system and nervous system, as well as having anticancer properties
