About Cheese, goat, hard type
Hard goat cheese is aged to remove most moisture, which concentrates everything and produces a dense, crumbly texture with a pronounced tang. Fat is very high, protein is strong, and carbs are minimal. The flavor is distinctly goaty, sharper and earthier than aged cow's milk cheeses, and the texture works well grated over pasta or salads or eaten in small shards on a cheese plate. It is not a product you use in large quantities but one that earns its presence with flavor.
