What it is
This is a rich, sweet spread made from sheep's milk. It has a smooth texture and a distinct milky flavor. The organic certification indicates that the milk used comes from sheep raised according to organic farming standards, which typically means no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers were used in their feed. It is a dairy product with a naturally sweet taste, often enjoyed as a treat.
