Manchego sheep milk cheese is available at a suburban supermarket near me, 
though I haven't seen it elsewhere. It has texture in it and I agree it is 
delicious. I myself also tolerate other hard sheep=milk cheeses and 
sheep-milk yoghurt. Bearing in mind the similarities in some of the 
proteins, just because some of us can eat it, doesn't mean anyone with a 
cow's milk protein allergy can.
However, for those who can, Manchego and other sheep-milk cheeses and 
yoghurts are a delicious alternative to bovine products.

When thinking of foods that are good calcium sources (as are sheep and goat 
milk and their cheeses), we in the West tend to forget other foods, when we 
could be eating a wider range of calcium sources.  I eat dried figs most 
days, and I sometimes eat canned fish with soft, edible bones. This is all 
the more reason why it makes sense for a breastfeeding mother going on an 
exclusion diet, in the belief that "something in her milk" is affecting her 
baby, to be guided by a nutrition professional.
