Sheep Milk

[jumpingmonk]

I was wondering, does anyone drink sheep milk as is? Certianly sheep milk is used to make a lot of cheese, as well as quite a bit of youghurt. However unlike cow and goats milk, I cant recall ever seeing bottles of sheep milk being sold. The closest I ever think I've seen was sheep milk ice cream, and that was only once. I'm sure there are people who drink sheep milk (after all there are regions of the world where sheep are the only milking animals present, and everyone in those areas can't be partially lactose intolerant.) I'm just not sure Ive ever seen any. Have you?

Where I am, most ewe's milk seems to be turned into cheese, yoghurt or icecream. No doubt, that's the farmers "adding value" to an otherwise small niche product. Google tells me a number of those farmers do sell the milk directly but it's very much a localised thing.
