What it is
Cultured goat milk is milk from goats that has been fermented by beneficial bacteria, similar to how yogurt or kefir is made. This process can change the milk's flavor and texture, often making it more tangy and sometimes thicker. It is used as a base ingredient or a flavor enhancer.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cultured goat milk for its distinct tangy flavor and creamy texture. It is often found in cheeses, dips, and other dairy products where a unique taste profile is desired. It can also be used in baked goods and frozen desserts.
Health notes
Cultured goat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Like other dairy products, it can be easier for some individuals to digest than cow's milk. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated goat milk products.
Allergen info
Goat milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
