It is concluded that " the differences between the fat of typical imported 

 Roquefort cheese and the fat of cow's milk are not great enough to warrant the 

 exclusive use of sheep's milk in the manufacture of this type of cheese. How- 

 ever, it is evident that an imported cheese, made wholly or chiefly from sheep's 

 milk, will have more of the peppery taste than a cheese of the same ripeness 

 made from cow's milk."
