SHEEP DAIRY

Sheep dairy, from our small farm to your table!

To produce good dairy products it is essential to have high quality fresh milk. At Mas Casas Cruïlles we are livestock farmers and this allows us to control genetics, feeding and handling from our own flock, to get one sheep's milk of the highest quality and that it provides us with a greater number of nutrients. 

Thanks to the consumption of our handmade dairy products, you contribute to a sustainable family project and the dynamism of the local economy. We serve our products in reusable, returnable glass containers.

How do you get sheep's milk?

Sheep's milk is obtained during the process of milking ewes with a machine that fits the ewe's udder with a teat, imitating the extraction that a lamb would do. This teat is connected to tubes that take the milk to a refrigerated tank where the milk is stored until it is transformed into dairy products.

A Mas Casas Cruïlles munyim dos cops al dia. Els xais estan sempre mamant a demanda amb les seves mares fins al cap d’un mes, que aquests comencen a menjar sòlid. Som conscients que podríem extreure més llet fent-ho d’una altra manera però prioritzem el benestar dels nostres animals.
