Soft Goat Cheese
A pure, soft white cheese made from fresh Dutch goat's milk, with a creamy milky flavour, a melt-in-the-mouth texture and a gentle tang. Its net carbohydrate is very low, so a glycemic index does not apply, and its proteins and fatty acids are easier and quicker to digest than those of cow's milk.

💡 Smart Nutritional Guidance
Consumption advice
Crumble a tablespoon over a rocket and beetroot salad with walnuts; the healthy fats and goat's-milk protein slow the absorption of the salad's carbohydrates and make the meal rich and filling.
Best preparation methods
Bake a small round of goat's cheese in the oven for a few minutes until the centre melts and top it with a light touch of wild thyme; skip the thick drizzle of honey to keep sugars low.
Important Nutritional Note
Goat's-milk fat contains a higher share of medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs) and smaller fat globules, which makes it a very comfortable alternative for people with digestive sensitivity to cow's-milk cheeses.
