August 22: National Goat Cheese Month
The popularity of goat cheese earned it a month of celebration! Humanity has enjoyed this cheese since the Greeks domesticated goats in 5000 B.C. The first settlers to North America included dairy goats among their livestock. Today, goat cheese enjoys prominence in a number of online food recipes and appetizer plates.
With less lactose than bovine dairy products, those who must normally avoid cow's milk can often indulge in goat cheese. It features a light taste that goes well with summer dishes and with different rind colors and textures, it can also figure in culinary photography. Eat it plain with crackers with a glass of white wine. Use it as a substitute in a recipe that normally uses cow milk products. Dishfolio food bloggers found many possibilities for goat cheese. It is guaranteed to add a new twist to your favorite dishes!
