Goat Milk
Goat milk is a nutritious alternative to cow's milk, derived from the milk of dairy goats. Originating from ancient farming practices, it has been consumed by humans for thousands of years, particularly in regions where goats thrive, such as the Middle East and parts of Europe. Its flavor is distinctively tangy and slightly sweet, with a lighter, creamier texture compared to cow's milk. The taste is often described as earthy and nutty, making it a favorite for those who find cow's milk too heavy or overly sweet. In cooking, goat milk behaves similarly to cow's milk but tends to curdle less due to its lower pH. It can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, offering richness without overwhelming other ingredients.
