Raw Milk Mountain Goat Cheese

What it is

This is a fresh cheese made from raw goat's milk, sourced from mountain pastures. The milk is unpasteurized, which means it retains more of its natural characteristics. The cheese is typically soft and creamy, with a mild, slightly tangy flavor that reflects the diet of the goats. Its texture can vary, but it is generally spreadable or sliceable when very fresh.

How people cook with it

This cheese is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple snacking to more elaborate dishes.

• Spread on crusty bread
• Dolloped into salads
• Mixed into warm pasta
• Baked into tarts

When very fresh, this goat cheese is excellent spread directly onto toasted bread or crackers. It can also be crumbled over a green salad to add a creamy, tangy element. For a warm application, gently stir it into cooked pasta or risotto just before serving, allowing it to melt slightly and create a rich sauce. It also bakes well, adding a delightful creaminess to quiches, tarts, or even stuffed vegetables.

How it differs from similar foods
