Goat Cheese Crumbles

Goat cheese crumbles are small pieces of cheese made from goat's milk. The milk is typically pasteurized, then a starter culture and rennet are added to coagulate it. The resulting curd is cut, drained, and then often crumbled before packaging.

Goat cheese crumbles add a tangy, slightly earthy flavor to foods. They are often used as a topping for salads, pizzas, flatbreads, and pasta dishes. Their crumbly texture also makes them suitable for incorporating into baked goods like muffins or scones.

Goat cheese is a dairy product and a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Like other cheeses, it contains saturated fat and sodium. The FDA does not specifically regulate goat cheese crumbles beyond general food safety standards. JECFA has evaluated various cheese products, but specific evaluations for goat cheese crumbles are not typically highlighted.
