Goat milk yogurt is a fermented dairy product made from goat's milk. It has a creamy texture and a slightly more acidic and distinctive flavor compared to cow's milk yogurt, making it an excellent choice for those seeking an alternative with a distinct and mild flavor profile.
This yogurt originates from regions where goat farming is common, such as the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and certain areas of Latin America. Its artisanal production has been an ancestral tradition that has evolved into industrial processes that ensure quality and consistency.
Among its properties, it stands out for having a higher content of short-chain fatty acids and branched-chain fatty acids, which facilitates digestion and may be better tolerated by people with cow's milk sensitivity. Furthermore, goat milk yogurt is a good source of protein, calcium, natural probiotics, and B vitamins, thus contributing to intestinal and bone health.
In the context of Latin American cuisine, goat milk yogurt can also be found under synonymous names such as chivo yogurt or simply goat yogurt. It is commonly used in recipes that require a creamy and acidic touch, from dressings and sauces to desserts and nutritious smoothies.
