Dairy
Sheep
Sheep cream is exceptionally rich because ewe milk already runs high in fat and solids. The cream is dense, ivory, and sweet-dairy, excellent for small-batch desserts and Mediterranean-style pouring. Use sparingly—intensity is high. Outstanding on fruit or in ice cream bases. Availability is seasonal and specialty. Do not expect supermarket volumes; farm dairies and cheese regions are the usual sources.
