Goat cheese
 

I know regular cheese slows me down and I have to watch my cheese intake very carefully. Cheese is my passion. :) I found some goat cheese at a local farmers' market. It's delicious. I love it :D

Will it slow me down me down like regular cheese? I know they recommend goat milk for lactose intollerant people.

I checked the USDA database for goat cheese, they have "Cheese, goat, hard type" and "Cheese, goat, semisoft type". This cheese is between a Gouda and a cheddar. Which of those two should I use to count my carbs?
How hard can goat cheese get?

There is also a soft cheese, something like a brie I can get, what do you recommend? Which is better?
Thanks in advance.

I never quite understood where the phrase "Acting the Goat" came from. I am pretty sure that it is some kind of satanic reference.

Then again, why are goats called "nanny" and "billy". Not very devilish names are they?

There are so few "evil" carbs in cheese, any cheese, that eating in moderation makes cheese an excellent component of a low carb diet.

Goats cheese, soft ,hard, or semi-soft are all less than 1 carb per oz. The way in which the carbs are calculated is inaccurate enough for the differences to be disregarded. So from a carb point of view I would ignore what is better or worse.

Clearly for any other intolerence, only your own body will know. For some, too much cheese can lead to a stall.

I like most cheeses, but am not that fond of goats cheese. It seems too expensive for too little cheese.

Try it cautiously and see.



Use the hard type for counting. Goat cheese can be aged to a Parmesan-like state.



Whichever you like best!
