Go(a)t Cheese?

If you’re a human, chances are you’ve eaten cheese.  If you’re like most humans, chances are you eat A LOT of cheese, and in many different forms, garnishing many different foods.  Be it pizza, burgers, pasta, salads, Mexican food, and more, cheese graces many a plate (can anyone think of a Chinese dish that uses cheese???).

So what if instead of your classic cow milk cheeses you replaced them with goat milk cheeses?  Well, you’d get all the benefits of goat milk like less fat and calories, higher calcium, more protein, more vitamin A and other nutrients, and digestive ease!

Goat cheeses (often referred to as “chèvre”) can be found in markets nationwide and in many flavorful styles.
