Is goat's cheese easier to digest than cheese from cow's milk?
Yes, goat’s cheese is more readily digested. Due to the smaller milk fat globules in the milk, goat’s milk, and therefore also goat’s cheese, is easier to digest and is better handled than cow’s milk products.
I'm pregnant, can I still eat goat's cheese?
Cheese is allowed during pregnancy! Pregnant women are not recommended to eat imported, soft, raw milk cheese. These can contain the Listeria bacteria which can make the baby very sick.
All Bettine cheeses are made from pasteurised milk, so they are safe for your baby.
I only eat vegetarian. Does Bettine goat's cheese fit in my diet?
In the preparation of Bettine goat’s cheese, exclusively vegetable rennet is used. This means that the cheeses are perfectly suited to a vegetarian diet.
Can puppies drink goat's milk?
Yes, goat’s milk is very healthy for puppies!
Many dog breeders feed their puppies goats milk to get beautiful and healthy offspring and because when the dogs drink this milk they have less problems with diarrhoea.

What means pasteurising the milk?
Why is goat's cheese white?
This is related to the stomach of the goat and the stomach of the cow. Goats and cows both eat food that contains carotene. Only goats convert the yellow pigment carotene into vitamin A. The yellow pigment cannot make its way into the cheese.
Cows do not convert the yellow pigment carotene and the pigment does get into the cheese. That is why cheese from cow’s milk is yellow and goat's cheese is white.
How can I best store my Bettine goat's cheese?
The hard types of cheese can best be stored at a temperature of about 15 degrees. If you keep this cheese in the fridge, then keep it in the vegetable drawer. Fresh goat’s cheese should always be kept in the fridge at a temperature of about 7 degrees Celsius.
Do you also have excursions to your facilities?
No, Bettinehoeve produces foods, which requires very high hygienic standards. For this reason no visitors are allowed in the production areas.
What means pasteurising the milk?
