It's, sniff, the last day of our "5 Days of Cheese" series. You might be cheesed out already but we sure aren't! Check out our tips and recipes for today's featured cheese: Goat Cheese!
- Origins: Has been around for thousands of years, debatably one of the first dairy products.
- Aging: Brined for several months.
- Texture: Can be soft and spreadable with no rind, or firmer with a rind.
- Fun fact: Goat milk is more similar to human milk than cow milk, and is served to young children who have a limited tolerance to cow milk. It is lower in fat and higher in vitamin A and postassium. Goat cheese is common in the Middle East, Africa, and Mediterranean countries because goats can survive in harsher conditions whereas cows cannot.
- Wine Pairing: Goat cheese goes best with a dry white from the Loire River Valley, like a Sancerre or Vouvray, or Gewurztraminer. Also pair it with champagne.
- Serving: Goat cheese is delicious crumbled into salads, spread over tartines, or stuffed into omelets. It is fairly versatile and can even be used in pasta dishes to add tangy flavor.
