The Goat Cheese is produced with goat's milk, the most consumed in ancient times! This cheese is making a comeback in our kitchens thanks to the growing attention to well-being; its organoleptic properties are a true remedy for our organism.

Among the many varieties of milk, goat's milk was the first to be consumed by humans. Numerous populations in the Mediterranean and the East used this product as a staple food for children and infants. Goat's milk is the type of milk that is closest, from a chemical point of view, to human breast milk.

Goat Cheese: Nutritional Properties and Benefits

Compared to other cheeses, that produced from goat's milk is much more digestible and leaner. Its fats, in fact, have a smaller and more assimilable molecular structure and therefore, as a result, are more digestible. Goat cheese is particularly beneficial for those suffering from hypercholesterolemia. Moreover, its proteins are better tolerated by people allergic to cow's milk.

Goat cheese is the best ally for the intestine thanks to its low cholesterol content, its anti-bloating action in the abdomen, and its remedy against intestinal disorders. Goat's milk, in fact, thanks to its short-chain fatty acids, inhibits the accumulation of cholesterol. Furthermore, being rich in isomers of conjugated linoleic acid, according to recent studies, it protects our organism against cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COW’S MILK AND GOAT’S MILK

Why prefer goat milk and consequently goat cheese over cow's milk?

First of all, the goat is an animal that is raised organically, as it is a mammal that does not lend itself to intensive farming and does not receive industrial-derived feed. Its cheese is produced exclusively in its natural habitat, pasture.

The Goat Cheese contains double the amount of iron and calcium compared to cow's cheese, substances that help you achieve a feeling of satiation more quickly, making it more suitable for those on weight loss diets. It contains various nutrients, including potassium, riboflavin, phosphorus, and taurine, essential for the cerebral development of children.

Goat cheese is a real treasure trove of lactic ferments. Its production occurs using only raw milk and takes place through spontaneous acid coagulation, allowing lactic ferments to convert lactose into lactic acid, making the cheese more digestible. Furthermore, since it is not pasteurized, the vitamin richness of the milk remains unchanged throughout the processing.

It is necessary to pay attention to labels, as some goat cheeses are produced with the addition of rennet or processed at high temperatures and therefore contain a lower percentage of vitamins and proteins.

Goat Cheese: Secrets

The low casein content makes goat cheeses different from those produced with cow's milk, both in terms of flavor and processing. Casein is the main protein in milk and forms curd through chemical processes. The cheesemaking process, which consists of separating the protein and fat part of the milk from the watery part using rennet, is more challenging.
This is why goat cheeses tend to be, on average, fresher and softer. The typical lactic-coagulated goat cheese is produced by reducing the pH content in the milk, thus eliminating the curd process.

Our artisanal goat cheeses are a concentrate of genuineness and unmatched flavor. Fresh or aged, light for every palate, to be consumed in slices, bites, or grated over one of your recipes, as a perfect complement to every meal. The amount of beneficial nutrients also depends on the diet with which the goats are raised; our partners' goats can graze and feed on wild herbs, significantly improving the quality of the cheese itself.
