What is the difference between goat's cheese and conventional (cow/goat) cheese? Despite its tasty character, sheep's cheese appears to be less popular. However, sheep's cheese contains many healthy properties. First of all is the composition of sheep's cheese. The sheep's cheese is easier to digest due to a different fat structure and less lactose. In addition, sheep's cheese contains more vitamins and minerals that contribute to overall health. Finally, sheep's cheese, like other cheeses, contains a probiotic environment that boosts your immune system!
Why is sheep's cheese white? Like goat's cheese, sheep's cheese is white. This has to do with the absence of carotene. The sheep digests carotene and converts it into vitamins. In addition, sheep's cheese contains a different protein structure, which is also whiter in color.
Sheep cheese of North Holland quality When we think of sheep, we think of vast meadows! Where can sheep graze better than in North Holland!?
The milk for Twisca comes from Nico Verduin's Westfriesedijk sheep farm. He has approximately 700 Frisian dairy sheep, which produce an average of 450 liters of milk per year. There are only 7,000 of these sheep in the whole of the Netherlands. His sheep graze on 70 hectares of land. This large nature reserve has always been under the influence of salty, water-rich nature. This makes the grass richer in composition and the milk much tastier! The feed for the animals is grown themselves, so they can guarantee the quality. An extra effort that they are happy to make to guarantee their vision for animal welfare and health!
Nico Verduin's company is unique because lambs are born all year round (every month). The advantage of this is that it can supply the best milk all year round and you can taste that in this delicious sheep's cheese.
We ship Twisca sheep cheese by post. We always have the cheese delivered by PostNL or DPD. We always cut the cheese fresh and then vacuum-pack the pieces. The advantage of this is that the cheese is then stored in an airtight environment. This stops the ripening process and prevents mold formation and dehydration. This means that the cheese can be eaten in a refrigerator for several months after purchase. The cheese is always packed in a sturdy box and is often shipped the same day. In addition, each piece of cheese comes with free cheese paper to store the cheese in.
Tip: first bring the Twisca sheep's cheese to room temperature for a better taste experience!
