National Goat Cheese Month

National Goat Cheese Month celebrates the versatile, tangy cheese made from goat’s milk. Also known as chèvre, goat cheese can be soft, hard, fluffy, salted, spiced, or brined. It is made by curdling the milk and separating the whey, and its flavor can vary with its aging, moisture, density, added flavorings, and the goat’s diet.

The American Cheese Society (ACS) started National Goat Cheese Month in August 1998 to highlight the qualities of goat cheese. Goat cheese itself has been made for thousands of years, dating back to the domestication of goats. Today, August is a good time to enjoy its creamy texture and distinctive flavor in both savory and sweet dishes.

How to Observe National Goat Cheese Month

Celebrate by enjoying goat cheese in a salad, sandwich, dip, or on toasted bread. Pair it with colorful fruit, roasted apples or peaches, honey, or chocolate, or simply savor it on its own. You can also experiment with goat cheese in a dessert or try making it at home by curdling goat’s milk, draining the curds, and pressing them into shape.
