About Milk, sheep, fluid
Beyond the familiar cow, people around the world drink milk from a whole range of mammals, and each brings its own character to the table. Goat milk is the most widely consumed, mild and slightly tangy, and naturally easier for some people to digest thanks to smaller fat globules and a different protein makeup. Sheep milk is richer and higher in fat, protein, and calcium, which is why it makes such prized cheeses as feta, Roquefort, and pecorino.
Farther afield, water buffalo milk gives the world true mozzarella and much of India's dairy, while camel, mare, yak, and reindeer milk sustain communities across deserts, steppes, and the Arctic. Like cow milk, these all provide high-quality protein, calcium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, though the exact fat, lactose, and mineral balance varies by animal. Non-cow milks are worth exploring for cheesemaking or for anyone who finds them gentler on the stomach.
Keep any fresh milk well chilled, use it by its date, and know that most animal milks freeze reasonably well if you need to hold them longer.
