Can I make cheese out of goat’s milk?

Yes, you can. Goat’s milk has fat, protein and lactose, just the same as cow’s milk, although they are different. This means that the lactic acid bacteria used to make cheese will work in goat’s milk as well as cow’s milk.

Goat’s milk is naturally homogenized and when using this milk to make cheese, the curd is always softer.  The use of calcium chloride is essential to get a good curd and I usually use twice as much in goat's milk as is called for in a cow's milk recipe.
