Cheese is unanimously considered one of the most versatile and important ingredients to any dish (As long as you aren't vegan). What is typically made using cow's milk, this flavoursome ingredient can also be made using goats milk.

Goats cheese has slightly less fat and calories than its traditional counterpart which also makes it easier to digest.  On top of this, goat's cheese is packed with more minerals and vitamins than traditional cheese, which is a big plus for those health fanatics out there.
