Add some brilliance to brunch with the Wooly Wooly Everything Seasoning Sheep’s Milk Log. It’s like fresh chèvre’s quirky cousin—still bright and tangy but denser and richer, coated in everything bagel seasoning. It’s heavy on the poppyseed, with sesame, onion, and garlic adding savory flair. Spread it on bagels or biscuits, crumble it on a salad with tomato, red onion, and capers, or bring it to a picnic with Peppadews and Hungry Bird Fennel + Onion Nordic Crisps.
“Everything seasoning is everywhere these days, but my favorite use of it so far is on this fresh sheep’s milk log. The slight tang of the cheese with those pops of poppyseed... just so delicious and savory.”
- Sheep give rich, high-fat milk that maintains its decadent texture whether soft or firm.
- This fresh sheep’s milk cheese is unaged and rindless, retaining the rich, lactic flavor of fresh milk.
- These logs are easier to crumble than their goat’s milk counterparts, because the higher fat content means there’s less moisture, making it a bit denser and more able to hold its shape. But it’s still spreadable!

- Founded in 1998, Forever Cheese was created to share Sini’s renowned family cheeses with a U.S. audience.
- The duo originally offered Italian cheeses before moving into Spanish, Portuguese, and even Croatian cheese.
- It wasn’t long before they were also adding other charcuterie staples, like prosciutto and fruit spreads, to the fold
While harder cheeses can stay fresh for up to two to three weeks when wrapped tightly and unopened, fresh style cheeses are best consumed within a few days. The best thing to do is to keep the cheese in one of your refrigerator drawers or the vegetable bin; this will help to keep your cheese from drying out. If your cheese is packed in olive oil or brine, store any leftovers in the liquid and follow package instructions. All cheeses and meats are perishables—by definition they degrade over time—so we encourage our customers to enjoy the cheese while it's in peak condition!
