Types of milk used:
The most commonly used milk in the manufacture of cheese is whole milk, mainly due to it's higher milk production numbers.
In the Mediterranean, where cows are rare it is more common to use sheep's or goat's milk thus giving an acidity touch to the cheese.
It is also possible to mix different kinds of milk, as in the case of Cabrales cheese, which uses a mixture of cow, sheep and goat milk.
