DESCRIPTION:
NATIONAL GOAT CHEESE MONTH: CELEBRATING A VERSATILE DELICACY
August marks National Goat Cheese Month in the United States, a celebration highlighting goat cheese's delicious and versatile nature.

It is celebrated for its creamy texture and ability to take on a variety of flavors, making it a popular choice in a range of culinary dishes.
The most popular types of goat cheese include:
Chèvre—This fresh, soft cheese is often sold in logs or rounds and is known for its creamy texture and mild tanginess. It can be enjoyed plain or flavored with herbs, spices, or fruit.
Feta—Originally from Greece, this brined cheese is crumbly and salty, commonly used in salads, sandwiches, and Mediterranean dishes.
Aged Goat Cheese—These cheeses are firmer and have a more pronounced flavor than fresh varieties. Examples include Crottin and Bucheron, which develop complex, earthy flavors as they age.
