Sheep

Sheep butter is rich and dense from high-fat ewe cream—ivory colour, full dairy flavour, and a luxurious melt. Traditional in some Mediterranean and mountain dairies; rare in bulk retail. Spread thinly; intensity is high. Beautiful on grilled bread and vegetables. Store cold; use while aroma is fresh.
