About Churra SheepAbout Churra Sheep



Churra sheep, raised in the region of Castile and Leon in northwestern Spain, are primarily known for their role in milk production. This breed is esteemed for its remarkable hardiness, making it well-suited to the continental climate characterized by long, severe winters, brief springs, and hot, dry summers prevalent in the region.

The milk of Churra sheep holds particular significance in Spanish culinary traditions, notably in the production of Zamorano cheese, a classic Spanish sheep's milk cheese. Zamorano cheese, renowned for its rich flavor and creamy texture, is crafted using full cream milk, with a significant portion sourced from Churra sheep.

Interestingly, the genetic lineage of Churra sheep extends beyond Spain, as they are also linked to the ancestry of Navajo Churro sheep. This connection underscores the historical and cultural importance of Churra sheep, both within Spain and in influencing sheep breeds in other parts of the world.
