Description

Fresh and soft goat cheese is a type of cheese made from goat's milk, characterized by its creamy texture and a delicate, slightly acidic, and fresh flavor. It is distinguished by not undergoing long aging processes, which gives it a soft and easily spreadable consistency, making it ideal for use in a variety of recipes, from salads to appetizers and main dishes.

This cheese originates from Mediterranean regions, where goat farming has been traditional for centuries. Currently, its production has spread to many other areas, including Latin American countries, where it is also highly valued for its light aroma and versatility in the kitchen.

Among its nutritional properties, it stands out for its high content of easily digestible proteins, a lower amount of saturated fats compared to cow's milk cheeses, and a significant contribution of calcium and B vitamins. Furthermore, being fresh, it retains a good amount of probiotics that promote intestinal health.

In Hispanic America, this product may have various names depending on the country. Some common synonyms are soft goat cheese, fresh goat cheese, or simply goat cheese. In certain regions, it is also called fresh goat cheese to differentiate it from aged or matured goat cheese.
