Goat's Cheese
🧀 Goat cheese, goat's cheese or
chèvre (/ˈʃɛvrə/ or /ˈʃɛv/; from the French
fromage de chèvre, lit. 'goat cheese') is cheese made from
goat's milk. Goats were among the first animals to be domesticated for
producing food. Goat cheese is made around the world with a variety of
recipes, giving many different styles of cheeses, from fresh and soft to
aged and hard.
✅ Nutritional value
Goat milk has higher proportions of medium-chain fatty acids, such as
caproic and caprylic, which contribute to the characteristic tart/"goat"
flavor of the cheese. They also make goat milk and cheeses more easily
digestible.
Goat milk, and therefore goat cheeses, contain
anti-inflammatory enzymes,
probiotics,
antioxidants,
proteins, and
lipids and help maintain a healthy
metabolism. These fatty acids take their name from the Latin for 'goat',
capra. It is also high in calcium, vitamins A and K, phosphorus,
thiamin, and niacin. Overall, the consumption of 60 grams (2.1 oz) per
day of cheese (both control and enriched), within the context of a
balanced hypocaloric diet and recommendations for physical activity, was
effective for the reduction of body weight, body mass index and waist
circumference.
