Goat cheese with garlic and herbs

Goat cheese with garlic and herbs is a type of cheese made from goat's milk, which incorporates garlic and a varied mix of aromatic herbs to enhance its flavor and aroma. This cheese has a creamy or semi-soft texture and an intense, slightly spicy flavor, thanks to the combination of garlic and herbs, making it a versatile ingredient for various culinary preparations.

Its origin dates back to Mediterranean and European traditions, where goat cheese has been valued for centuries for its digestibility and unique flavor. The incorporation of garlic and herbs responds to the influence of artisanal techniques that seek to enrich and diversify the cheese's flavor profile, making it ideal for spreading, accompanying salads, pastas, or as part of cheese boards.

Among its properties, it stands out for its content of high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and for being easier to digest than cheeses made from cow's milk, due to the different composition of goat's milk. The garlic and herbs provide additional benefits, such as antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, which, in addition to improving the flavor, can contribute to digestive health.

In the gastronomic sphere of Hispanic America, this ingredient may also be known as:

• Aromatized goat cheese
• Goat cheese with herbs
• Seasoned goat cheese
• Goat cheese with garlic and spices

Thanks to its characteristic flavor and versatility, goat cheese with garlic and herbs is ideal for recipes such as fresh salads, dips, fillings, or to enhance the taste of both hot and cold dishes.
