Top 9 nations by production volume; tonnes, 2023.
FAOSTAT reports sheep-milk cheese production by nation for 2023 in tonnes. The ranking compares nine non-aggregate nation rows from the same FAOSTAT source, with no share column because no external denominator is used. Spain ranks first at 75,240 tonnes, ahead of China at 74,811 tonnes. Spain’s value is 5.62x the #9 nation, Sudan at 13,385 tonnes, so the page is best read as a production-volume ranking.

Evidence: Supports 2023 nation-level sheep-milk cheese production values in tonnes.
Values are annual production volumes in tonnes. Shares are not included because the page uses a ranked nation comparison rather than a separate global total.
The ranking uses FAOSTAT nation rows for sheep-milk cheese, production volume, tonnes and 2023. Aggregate reporting groups are excluded where they appear in the source. Values are ranked from highest to lowest and rounded consistently for display.
Rows use the same FAOSTAT Crops and Livestock Products source family, metric, unit and year, supporting a like-for-like ranking across nations.
