Re: The taste of goat yogurt

I would say that I think goat yogurt tastes like cleanser, but it definitely

has a flavor unique to itself. We started out by adding honey and

fruit(usually banana), and then were able to back off after a while. You

will get used to it.

Theresa,

It sometimes depends on the milk. I have to say that in MY opinion, the goat

milk from Meyenburg is just AWFUL tasting.... really strong and " goaty " . STINKY,

too! A friend of mine who raises goats told me that company mixes together milk

from many different breeds of goats.... so you don't really know what type of

goat their milk is coming from.

Some breeds have better tasting milk than others. When I buy milk from my

friend, it makes a MUCH tastier, and thicker yogurt than Meyenburg. Her goats

are Nubians.... and I have heard they have a really good tasting milk. You might

try to locate a 4-H group in your area that raises goats.... and see if you can

buy straight from the farm.

You could also try dripping the yogurt, which will take away *some* (not all) of

the tartness and yuckier flavor.... and yield a thicker yogurt.

The taste of goat yogurt

I'm sorry, but is it just me or does goat yogurt taste funny?

I always had cow milk products. When I try to goat yogurt, I taste

something along the lines of a cleanser or something!

I know Meyenberg's goat milk makes terrible yogurt. I just made goat yogurt

with raw goat milk and it came out delicious. It was a little tart but

delicious. Eileen Brown

Thanks for responding! That's what I used! I'll have to look around

for some alternatives....

Thanks!

I have made yogurt from Meyenberg and from Summerhill (both from Trader Joe's)

with success, and once from Meyenberg from a supermarket, and it didn't gel. I

think that there must be something about the way the supermarket stored it, how

long they had it, etc, that made a difference. The Summerhill might be a LITTLE

less goaty, though. In my family, 4/5 like goat milk yogurt and cheese but my

daughter hates goat yogurt even when strained and no matter how much honey I put

on it. Maybe its like wine, an acquired taste! I don't think many are born

liking it. At least not after the standard American diet.
