Take Your Pick: Milk Cheese Chart

Cow’s milk, goat’s milk and sheep’s milk are no doubt the most common when it comes to cheese-making, and each type of milk cheese differs in production quantity, taste and nutritional value. The most commonly used dairy for cheese is cow’s milk, which is four times the amount of goat’s milk cheese, and seven times that of sheep’s milk cheese. Check out this chart to see the types of milk cheeses you can find at city'super!
