Pure Goat Cheese, Original
What it is
This is a fresh, soft cheese made from pasteurized goat's milk. It has a mild, slightly tangy flavor and a creamy, spreadable texture. The cheese is unripened, meaning it is not aged and is meant to be consumed relatively soon after production. Its natural characteristics are preserved in its original form.
How people cook with it
This versatile cheese is excellent for both sweet and savory applications. It can be enjoyed simply spread on bread or incorporated into more complex dishes.
- Spread on crackers
- Dolloped onto salads
- Mixed into pasta sauces
- Baked into tarts
When using this goat cheese, allow it to come to room temperature for easier spreading and a more pronounced flavor. It can be crumbled or softened for various culinary uses. For baking, it can be incorporated directly into batters or fillings. Its creamy nature makes it a wonderful binder in savory pies and quiches. It also melts beautifully, adding a rich, tangy dimension to gratters and casseroles.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining cheese fresh, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a week of opening to maintain its optimal quality and flavor.
