Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I buy goat cheese from Vitamin Cottage. Most health food stores have a wide variety of cheeses. The name of the brand I buy is Mt. Sterling Cheese Co-Op. It's " raw milk mild cheddar style cheese " . Aged 60 days. They don't have a website listed on the package, so I don't know if they have a website. You could google it, I guess.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Angie, There are other types of goat cheese besides Chevre. Although, that is the most common type seen in regular cheese sections of a grocery store. You can get goat cheddar and goat gouda.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Speaking of goat cheese...i'm considering making my own. Maybe i'll ask this lady I heard of who makes goat cheese. It's amazing and confusing how many diff. cheeses there are! Speaking of the goat yoghurt, my son won't come near it! And my daughter tried it and doesn't like it. I ate some, and I have to say that it is pretty sour by itself but with honey it is not so bad. I really wish my son would try it with honey.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Try making a yogurt smoothie with the goat yogurt, honey, and a banana. None of our family could stand the goat yogurt without honey and fruit, but now we're used to it. We can it plain. Meleah Re: Goat Cheese > Speaking of goat cheese...i'm considering making my own.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Trish, Some of the tartness would be reduced if you dripped the yogurt. Line a colander with a clean tea towell.... or thin muslin....set it over a bowl and pour in the yogurt. Set the whole thing in the fridge and let the liquid drip out for a few hours. Your yogurt will be thicker, and less tart. The longer you drip it, the thicker it gets.... but it also reduces the volume. Throw away the liquid that drips off. Yogurt is definitely and aquired taste! Patti Re: Goat Cheese Speaking of goat cheese...i'm considering making my own. Maybe i'll ask this lady I heard of who makes goat cheese.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I google " making cheese " several months ago, and found a site that talked about how to make many different kinds of cheese. I can't remember the site now, but you can just google the topic to see what comes up. I do remember that one gallon of milk only makes one pound of cheese. That's why cheese is so expensive. I didn't feel that it was worth it.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 <<I do remember that one gallon of milk only makes one pound of cheese. >> Wow... one gallon of fresh goat milk would certainly cost at least $6.00, wouldn't it? Then you have to get the proper enzymes, and follow the proper procedure... which is probably much more complicated than yogurt making (I'll admit, I've never made cheese before). I'm thinking you'd end up paying more to make your own... and will have invested a lot of time and energy as well.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 > Luckily we get our raw goat's milk for $3 a gallon BUT by the time the enzymes or whatever are bought, it might not be worth making it except for the experience maybe... There's no Whole Foods closeby here. I tried googling it the other night but I was tired and was overwhelmed by all the sites listed and all the diff. types of cheeses.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 That's what I decided. I'd love to do it if I had enough money to afford it, and lived out in the country and all. I don't remember it being more time consuming than yogurt making once the cheese is aging. There is a sort of recommended order of cheese making to become accustommed to the process and have better success. It's recommended that you start by making homemade yogurt into a yogurt cheese...mainly dripping with lots of salt added. Then, you progress through different types(cheddar, blue, ect.)...don't remember what order though. Anyway, I decided to pass on it since it wouldn't save a lot of money, and wasn't necessary for successful scd.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 In the book, BTVC (in the back... in the appendix right after the glossary).... there is a list of cheese types that are legal... ie; cheddar, jack, gouda, brie, muenster, etc. It wouldn't matter if the cheese were made from cow milk or goat milk... it just needs to be one of the legal types listed. Those are properly aged. Patti Goat Cheese I just bought some goat milk cheese. That's all it says on the package. Are there different kinds and if so which one should I buy?

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I don't understand the list in the book. I bought a goat's cheddar cheese and called the manufacturer to see if it was aged 30 days and they said that is was not. Would it still be legal if it was goat's cheddar?

There is Goat Gouda and here is a site about other aged goat cheese but you would be best to contact them as to how long it has been aged and where it is available. http://www.chevre.com/aggoatchees.html I did a Google search under " Aged Goat Cheese " It has some more sources.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I've read two conflicting answers so I'm just going to ask, is goats milk cheese legal if it's aged the 30 days like cows milk cheese? Or is it always illegal (I know chèvres and feta are no-no's)? Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it always illegal (I know chèvres and feta are no-no's)? The fresh cheeses of any type (with the exception of DCCC) are not legal. Hard cheeses, like cheddar, Gouda, etc. etc., whether of cow, goat, or sheep milk are legal, if aged properly. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
