Aged goat cheese is a type of cheese made from goat's milk that has been matured for several weeks or months, which gives it a more intense flavor, a firm texture, and a characteristic aroma. This cheese stands out for its taste profile, which can range from slightly tangy to deeply robust, depending on the aging time and techniques used.
Aged goat cheese has an ancient origin, with roots in various regions of Europe, especially in Mediterranean countries like Spain, France, and Greece, where goat milk production has been traditionally important. In Latin America, its production has also gained popularity, adapting to local varieties.
Among its properties, it stands out for its high content of easily digestible proteins, lower lactose levels compared to cow's milk cheeses, and being a good source of calcium and healthy fats. Furthermore, its aging process helps develop a complex organoleptic profile, ideal for enhancing flavors in various culinary preparations.
Regarding synonyms or alternative names in different Latin American countries, it may also be referred to simply as matured goat cheese, dried goat cheese, or aged goat cheese, although the most universal and recognizable term is aged goat cheese.
This ingredient is perfect for adding depth and character to salads, pastas, tapas, and gratin dishes, as well as for accompanying cheese and wine boards.
