Ingredients

sheep's milk

Sheep's milk is similar to cows milk with its white or cream color. However, the fat content in sheep's milk is very high and therefore an excellent choice for making certain cheeses. Sheep's milk is thin, but may be a bit thicker than cow's milk, due to the fat content, which can be seen as globules in the milk. The flavor is sweet, buttery and milder than cow's milk.

salt

Salt is a mineral composed mostly of sodium chloride. It is the main flavoring used in food and is naturally occurring in certain foods, such as cheese, beets, meat and celery, plus many others. Salt is white and has finer granules than sugar. Many commercial salts include iodide, while others exclude it. Most salts are white, while some are naturally pale pink with minerals. Salt brings out the flavor of something and can create a tangy mouthfeel, if used in excess.

enzymes

Enzymes are living organisms. They are found in plants and are lab made by humans. These enzymes create specific reactions and are used in food production for this purpose. For example the enzyme called papain, which comes from papaya is used as a meat tenderizer. Some enzymes break down lactose, or keep the fermentation processes stable. Enzymes are commonly sold as powder, or in tablet form.
