Chèvre
Goat's milk cheeses have become very popular in recent years, mostly due to its wide variety and unique flavors. Chèvre is a traditional French fresh, unripened goat's milk cheese. Its texture is crumbly and dry, and decidedly more tart than most cow's milk cheeses.
Making of Goat Cheese
Most people tend to think of Goat cheese as a white, fresh, log-shaped piece of cheese. On the contrary, Goat cheese can be found in other styles such as Soft-Ripened Goat cheese, Blue-Veined Goat cheese, and Pressed Goat cheese. Classic Goat cheese shapes are cylinder; pyramid; log; small, plump oval; bell; and round.

Dominant Flavors
The flavors can range from a mild, sourish flavor, found in young Goat cheese, all the way to a full, velvety flavor found in goat's milk Gouda. Fresh Goat cheese is very perishable, while pressed or aged Goat cheeses have a longer shelf life.
