Goat cheese, or chevre, is made in various styles, from hard to creamy and spreadable, and it has a strong taste that is perfect for salads and pizza. While not as popular as cheese made from cow’s milk, which is more solid and mild, this cheese is quickly becoming popular and an excellent substitute for a wide range of recipes. It is higher in minerals and fats, lower in lactose, and contains beneficial probiotics.
