Benefits of sheep's cheese
Provides a large amount of energy and proteins, essential for our body and to maintain strong muscles. The protein concentration varies according to the curing of the cheese, thus the more cured cheeses have a higher proportion.
High content of minerals, especially iron, calcium, phosphorus and zinc. Ideal for preventing anemia, osteoporosis and decalcification. In addition, it helps to strengthen hair, skin and teeth.
It contains Group B vitamins which are very important for the proper functioning of the metabolism. These types of vitamins are eliminated with the urine, which is why their 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. Thus, it is indicated for intolerant people, especially the most cured cheeses. And, in addition, it is gluten-free, so it can also be consumed by celiacs.
The fatty acids in sheep's cheese (omega 3 and linoleic acid) are essential for growth and beneficial for the cardiovascular, immune and nervous systems, as well as having anticancer properties.
