BENEFITS AND PROPERTIES OF GOAT CHEESE
Goat cheese is one of the most unknown cheeses but it is also one of the cheeses that provide the most flavor and quality.
Raw goat's milk cheese has been on the market for a long time, its production dates back to before Christ, currently the production has changed a bit due to its intense flavor. So goat cheese ends up being made with raw sheep's and goat's milk, to give it a flavor with less acidity.
To take into consideration is that the forms of elaboration are disparate, without any of them having an entity to be.
At Degusta Teruel we prioritize quality, which is why we bet on the tronchón goat cheese
The largest producers of goat cheese are France, Greece, Italy and Spain
Consumption in Spain is still minimal, at present, goat cheese is being replaced in other countries by cheese made from cow's milk.
This food, which was especially relevant in the 1960s and 1970s in rural areas, is now becoming fashionable again. And there are many advantages it brings.
Goat cheese is usually made in a smaller size than sheep cheese, with a paler color, a commonly more acidic flavor and a very different texture than sheep cheese. It is recommended to eat it in lunches and desserts.
MAIN PROPERTIES OF GOAT CHEESE
- Easy to digest: Due to the fact that cheeses are made up of lactose, it is often difficult to digest it. Lactose is a protein that is difficult to digest, and it has to reach the small intestine for proper digestion. Lactose is made up of glucose and galactose and in order to be digested correctly it has to reach the intestine and carry out this division of the protein to be better digested. The main difference with goat's milk is that the milk is used in different phases to make cheese, which allows the lactose to be more easily digested.
- Almost lactose-free: As we have said before, lactose is found in the milk of mammals, currently, many people are advised not to drink milk or milk derivatives due to their lactose intolerance. Eating goat cheese helps to digest it correctly, since the volume of lactose and the production processes make it a more than digestible cheese.
- High nutritional value: Goat cheese has a high nutritional value, and it is ideal for our proper functioning. Contains fats, carbohydrates, low levels of cholesterol, sodium, potassium and calcium. In addition to vitamins A, B and D.
