How healthy is goat cheese?
-
We have only really discovered goat cheese since the early 21st century. Of course goat cheese has been made for some time, but a definitive place next to the cheese from cows has not been achieved for a long time. We now also find fresh or prepackaged goat cheese in the supermarket. Of course not yet in such a great diversity as cheese from cows. One of the reasons goat cheese is doing better in the consumer market is that it would be better for you than cheese made from cows. So the most logical question is whether goat cheese is really that healthy?
The (healthy) goat base
-
The way the cow is milked for making cheese, it is no different for the goat if we want cheese from it. The goat is milked and the cheese making process starts immediately. Goat cheese is whiter than cow cheese. This has to do with the carotene in the diet that goats can convert to the colorless vitamin A.

Is goat cheese better than cow cheese?
-
It is often said “goat cheese is healthier than cow's cheese”, but is that really the case? This is only partly true and is due to the comparison with the full cheese from the cow. If you compare the full-fat cheese with the cheese of the goat, you can say that goat cheese is definitely healthier. However, with the cow's cheese you also have variants of 20+ and 30+. These are slightly better than goat cheese in terms of saturated fats. It goes without saying that if you take the 20+ goat cheese, it will be better again. However, the 20+ goat cheese is not equally available everywhere. In terms of cholesterol, as mentioned earlier, they are also the same level. However, it is slightly easier to digest and that means that goat cheese is included in a so-called conscious diet.
Flavors
-
There is no arguing about taste. Some people prefer the cheese from the cow and others the slightly lighter goat cheese (also in processing by the body). The goat cheese can also be combined with meat and fish and various types of vegetables. Moreover, goat cheese is also delicious on a sandwich with a little mustard or a tomato and chives or use goat cheese in a fresh (summer) salad, with or without some fruit. As a sprinkle cheese, goat cheese has slightly less flavor for most people and almost always cheese from the cow is used for this, mostly Italian and sometimes (extra) matured cheese from the cow.

Finally
-
Goat cheese is certainly not bad, but so is cheese from the cow. The difference is that goat cheese is part of a healthy daily diet and cheese from the cow does not. At least if we make the comparison with the full-fat products. The residues require too much processing by the body to be responsible for daily consumption. Goat cheese is easily digestible, which is one of the reasons why it is extremely suitable to eat on a sandwich for lunch. Incidentally, the low-fat versions of the cow's cheese (20+ and 30+) do fit into a healthy daily diet. However, it goes for everything… eat in moderation and therefore also all types of cheese.
