Lamb Chopper®
Lamb Chopper® is our only sheep milk cheese, but that’s not its only claim to fame. Lamb Chopper has a buttery color, smooth texture, and is mild on the palate, but don’t equate “mild” with “lack of complexity” — this is a nutty, subtly sweet cheese that’s semi-firm and meltable, thanks to the higher fat in sheep milk. This lamb cheese is perfect for any occasion! Aged three months, Lamb Chopper® is a real crowd pleaser and a favorite with kids — some might even call it the “type O” cheese.
