What is goat cheese?

Goat cheese, or Chevre in French, is a popular choice for those looking for a bold, tart and tangy flavor.  It is available in multiple textures including: soft, semi-soft, hard and firm. Goat cheese has a distinctive aroma and flavor which increases through the aging process and moisture content. Goat cheese is commonly used on bruschetta, pizza or in dessert recipes! Iowa goat cheese is our favorite. It’s local and like most, delicious!
