SHEEP MILK NUTRITION
We believe sheep milk is the next big thing in mainstream health.
Sheep milk has been used as a dairy option for centuries, but it hasn’t been widely available until now. Maui aims to change this by expanding the market and increasing awareness of Sheep milk. We believe that its rich nutritional benefits, smooth and creamy flavour, along with its quick and easy digestibility make it a preferred and gentle alternative to both goat and cow’s milk.
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF SHEEP MILK
Sheep milk is a nutritious dairy product that has several unique qualities compared to other types of
dairy. It is known for its rich and creamy texture, and it contains higher levels of protein, calcium, and
certain vitamins compared to cow’s milk and goat’s milk. Its distinct nutritional profile makes it an
interesting and valuable option for those seeking alternative dairy products.

High levels of Lactoferrin
Sheep milk contains much higher levels of lactoferrin than goat milk and cow milk. Lactoferrin appears to protect the body from pathogenic micro-organisms such as those that cause bacterial, viral, and fungal infections and may also boost the body’s immune function.
An A2-type milk
The Milk from the Southern Cross® breed of sheep has been independently laboratory tested, and it has been confirmed that only the A2 β-casein type protein is present in the finished product. For those with sensitive stomachs who may experience digestive discomfort from A1 milk, consuming A2 sheep milk can be a good dairy alternative.
Gentle dairy
Sheep milk takes as little as approximately 45 minutes to digest, compared with cow’s milk, which takes up to four hours. Fast and easy digestion makes sheep milk great for gut health.
Source of protein
With over double the protein content than cow or goat milk, drinking sheep milk is a great way to help you to get your regular daily allowance in.
Higher vitamin content
Sheep milk is rich in vitamins and minerals and contains 4 times the vitamin C, 3 times more vitamin E and double the thiamine than goat and cow’s milk.
B12 and Folate
Our sheep milk is rich in B12 and contains 5 times more Folate than goat milk.
