Goat Cheese

Goat Cheese

Goat cheese or chèvre cheese (French for "goat") is a pure white cheese with a pleasantly tart flavor.

It is easily distinguished from other cheeses due to its piquant bite.

HEALING TIP: Look for organic goat cheese with "Pur chèvre" on the label to ensure that the cheese is made entirely from goat's milk that has not been treated with antibiotics or hormones.
