Janice it will have a " gaty " taste but adding honey and even a little

vanilla will modify that.

You might be able to get rid of some of the " goaty " taste by dripping the yogurt

(instructions on pecanbread.com).

It also really depends on the milk you used. I utterly can't STAND the taste of

the Meyenberg goat milk which is the only one I can buy in a local store. But,

when I found a local farmer that sold me some fresh goat milk, from Nubian

goats, I was amazed at the difference. It was SO much better in flavor and made

a much firmer yogurt.

The breed of goats, and what they are fed, really makes a huge difference. I've

heard that Meyenberg just mixes milk from numerous different herds and breeds

all together.

Does goat taste like Chevre?

I have just made my third batch of yogurt, and this one finally has a

consistancy similar to yogurt. The yogurt tastes just like chevre

cheese, a taste that makes me quite sick. Is this how everybody

else's yogurt tastes? I'm not sure how I'd get this into my kids with

such a strong taste. I know I can sweeten it with fruit or honey, but

I can't imagine masking this taste.

Perhaps it's not supposed to taste this way. Did I do something

wrong (again)?
