Description

Goat milk feta cheese is a traditional cheese originating from Greece, known for its crumbly texture and salty, slightly tangy flavor. This cheese is primarily made from goat's milk, although some versions may mix in sheep's milk. Its brining process gives it its characteristic intense flavor and its ability to remain firm even in salads and cooked dishes.

Feta cheese is widely used in Mediterranean recipes and is a versatile ingredient in salads, appetizers, pastas, and side dishes. Thanks to its pronounced flavor, it adds a fresh and salty touch that complements vegetables, fruits, and meats very well.

Regarding its properties, goat milk feta cheese is a good source of high-quality protein and calcium. Additionally, it contains healthy fats from goat's milk, which are easier to digest compared to those from cow's milk. This cheese also provides vitamin A and some essential minerals such as phosphorus and zinc.

In different Latin American countries, goat milk feta cheese may have different names or variations, though not always with an exact designation:

  • Salted goat cheese
  • Fresh goat cheese
  • White goat cheese
  • Feta-style cheese

These synonyms usually refer to cheeses with similar characteristics, ideal for substituting feta cheese in recipes, especially when using ingredients accessible in local markets.
