Shredded Goat/Sheep Cheese?
My mother has recently started to feel the effects of getting older, and becoming (much to her dismay) lactose-intolerant. However, she is still able to eat goat and sheep-based cheeses for the most part. I was hoping that someone might know of a good variety of that type for shredding, such as in Mexican food, or muffins and biscuits? I would welcome any ideas!

I haven't tried them yet (they're fairly pricey), but I know you can buy goats' milk mozzarella, cheddar, brie, and jack cheese. I love blue goats' milk cheese.
Tell your mother that low-fat and aged cheeses are often easier on the stomach than full-fat, young, cows' milk cheese. I can't eat full-fat ricotta, but I'm fine with gorgonzola, nonfat cottage cheese, extra extra extra sharp white cheddar, etc (albeit in small amounts).
Pecorino romano's a hard, aged sheeps' milk cheese. It goes well in polenta and risotto - I'm sure it would create a pungent, salty flavor in biscuits as well.

Yep, Pecorino was my first thought too.
Theres also Berkswell and Manchego.

Thanks! This is a great start for ideas. So, once we get through those pesky Thanksgiving leftovers, I can give those a try! :)
