What are the general differences between cow\u2019s, goat\u2019s, and sheep\u2019s milk? <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\"Agreen\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

The most obvious difference is color. When cows graze on pasture, their milk assumes a golden-yellow hue from beta-carotene in the grass. When goats and sheep consume the same plants, however, their bodies convert almost all of the pigment to Vitamin A\u2014just as our bodies do when we eat carrots and other foods high in beta-carotene\u2014rendering their milk white. The second most conspicuous disparity is that fat in cow\u2019s milk readily rises to the top, forming a thick, rich layer often called a creamline or cream top. Goat\u2019s and sheep\u2019s<\/a> milk have smaller fat globules and lack a particular protein\u2014immunoglobulin M\u2014that causes fat in cow\u2019s milk to clump together. Sensory differences exist as well: Goat\u2019s milk should never taste \u201cgoaty\u201d or gamy, but it does have a distinct aroma and flavor profile thanks to fatty acids released during milk collection and will exhibit varied nuances through certain cheesemaking techniques. All of these milks are full of personality and character\u2014much like the animals they come from.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
