Goat cheese with herbs

Goat cheese with herbs is a type of cheese made from goat's milk, to which various aromatic herbs are added to enhance its flavor and aroma. Its texture can range from creamy to semi-soft, and its flavor is characteristic, slightly acidic with fresh notes thanks to the herbs that are combined, such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, or parsley.

This cheese originates from Mediterranean regions, where the tradition of using fresh herbs to enrich goat cheeses is very common. However, its production and consumption have now spread to many countries around the world, making it a very popular ingredient in gourmet cooking and in recipes that seek natural and fresh flavors.

Regarding its properties, herbed goat cheese is an excellent source of protein and calcium, in addition to being generally easier to digest than other cheeses made with cow's milk due to the composition of goat's milk. The added herbs also provide antioxidant compounds and a healthy touch, in addition to enhancing the flavor without the need for excessive salt.

Within Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, this ingredient may be known simply as goat cheese with herbs, although in some places it can also be found under names such as queso de cabra sazonao (Argentina), queso de cabra aromatizado (Mexico), or queso de cabra condimentado (Colombia). In any case, its presence in recipes provides a distinctive flavor ideal for salads, toast, sauces, or as an appetizer.
