I think it’s time to talk about goat’s milk again. Those who own dairy goats I’m sure will relate…
The amount of times someone tells me how they can’t stand goat’s milk because they tried it once when they were a kid and it was terrible. Or they simply say I don’t think I could drink it, even though they’ve never tried it…There seems to be a common misconception that goat’s milk tastes “goaty”.
Let me tell you, goat milk is one of the most delicious, sweet creamy milks you could ever drink. If it tastes bad, then something is wrong. The flavor of milk can be affected by so many different things!
Milk that isn’t fresh does not taste good. A goat’s diet can influence the flavor of their milk. Mineral deficiencies, parasite load, and general health of the goat, can have an impact on the flavor of their milk. Clean milking practices and handling are just as important, and ensuring that milk is well filtered and cooled quickly after milking is also important.
Likewise, the pasteurized commercial goat milk you can buy from the grocery store, IS NOT the same as the amazing fresh raw goat milk you can get from the farm. It doesn’t even compare.
This post isn’t about comparing raw milk to pasteurized milk, it is simply to try and promote and make people aware of what they’re missing by not giving goat milk a try.
For those that haven’t tried it but are curious, I am always willing to give you a sample to “try before you buy”.
