Sheep's milk yogurt, like the Royogourt from Fromagerie La Moutonnière, can be ordered online and delivered anywhere in Quebec, or picked up in store. Made in Sainte-Hélène-de-Chester, it offers a rich texture and a bolder taste than cow's milk yogurt, for anyone looking to try something different at breakfast or for dessert.

What sets sheep's milk yogurt apart

Sheep's milk has a naturally different composition than cow's milk, which gives the yogurt a denser, almost creamy texture, with a taste that's slightly reminiscent of hazelnut. It's a product you can enjoy by the spoonful like a dessert, or use as a base for a sauce or a side to fresh fruit.

Fromagerie La Moutonnière has been processing sheep's milk since 1992 in Sainte-Hélène-de-Chester, in the Centre-du-Québec region. The Royogourt is part of a lineup that also includes sheep's milk fetas and a sheep's milk ricotta, all made from the same milk as the creamery's cheeses.

How to order online in Quebec

Ordering is done directly through the creamery's online shop. The process is simple:

Choose the Royogourt and any other products you'd like from the online shop
Select delivery within Quebec or pickup at one of the two locations
Get your confirmation and plan for delivery or pickup

It's a convenient option for people in Centre-du-Québec who prefer to pick up their order in person, as well as for those farther away who want their products delivered right to their door.

Sheep's milk feta, ricotta and yogurt: what's the difference

Sheep's milk yogurt is sometimes confused with sheep's milk feta, but they're two very different products. Feta is a brined cheese, firm and salty, while yogurt is fermented but stays creamy and can be eaten plain or sweetened. Sheep's milk ricotta, meanwhile, is milder and lighter, meant more for cooking than for breakfast.

It's also worth noting that not all of the creamery's cheeses are made from pure sheep's milk. The Sein d'Hélène, for example, is made from a blend of sheep's milk and cow's milk. If you're looking for a product made exclusively from sheep's milk, it's best to check each product's description before ordering.

Who this yogurt is for

Sheep's milk yogurt appeals to several kinds of customers: the curious who want to try something other than cow's milk, hosts putting together a cheese board and looking for something a bit different, and visitors to Centre-du-Québec stopping by the creamery. Some people who have trouble digesting cow's milk lactose find sheep's milk to be a good compromise, but let's be clear: sheep's milk yogurt does contain lactose, like any fermented dairy product. It's not a lactose-free product and shouldn't be treated as one.

Storing and serving your sheep's milk yogurt

Once delivered or picked up, the yogurt keeps in the fridge like any fresh dairy product. It's delicious plain, with a drizzle of honey, fresh fruit or nuts. It can also replace cow's milk yogurt in a sauce, marinade or dip recipe, where its denser texture gives a more substantial result.
