Wikipedia

Goat's milk cheese, goats' cheese, goat cheese or chèvre (French for ''goat'') is cheese made from goat milk. Goat cheese comes in a wide variety of forms, although the most common is a soft, easily spread cheese. Goat cheese can also be made in hard aged varieties as well as semi firm cheeses like feta. Although cow's milk and goat's milk have similar overall fat contents, the higher proportion of medium-chain fatty acids such as caproic, caprylic and capric acid in goat's milk contributes to the characteristic tart flavor of goat's milk cheese. (These fatty acids take their name from the Latin for goat, ''capra''.) Accessed 26 June 2008. Also, recent studies show that the protein found in goat cheese is higher than in cows, and is actually very similar to that of human breast milk. When chèvre is served hot, it is known as chèvre chaud. It is "kidney friendly" and suitable for those with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) as it is very low in potassium.
