Goat cheese, tasty and healthy

Goat cheese is a very versatile product, which can be combined with almost anything. Apart from being very tasty, goat cheese also has many benefits for the body! For example, goat's cheese is...

Easily digestible

Compared to cow cheese, goat cheese is much easier to digest. This is because the fat globules (fatty acid molecules) in goat's dairy are much smaller than those in cow's dairy. This, in turn, causes your body to break down goat's cheese faster than cow's cheese. As a result, goat cheese fits into a calorie-conscious diet.

Rich in healthy vitamins

Goat cheese is also packed with healthy vitamins that the body needs on a daily basis. For example, it contains vitamin B1, which ensures proper functioning of the heart, vitamin B6, which is needed for the body's growth, blood production and proper functioning of the immune system, and vitamin D, which is needed for strong bones and teeth. So goat cheese is very good for the body.

Rich in proteins

Goat cheese is incredibly high in protein, which is important for the body's energy supply. Proteins also make the body appear satiated faster, reducing your need for snacks. So proteins can also help if you want to lose weight. Moreover, proteins help maintain and create muscle tissue, so you can build strong muscles.

Low in residues

Goat cheese contains far fewer residues compared to cow's cheese. Those residues that occur in cow's milk can burden our intestines, form mucus in the respiratory tract or even cause skin complaints such as eczema, etc. Because it contains fewer residues, goat's cheese is extremely suitable for daily consumption, because it puts much less strain on your system.

Good for the bones

Like cow's cheese, goat's cheese is rich in calcium. This ensures strong bones and teeth. People with calcium deficiency could therefore benefit from goat cheese.
