Is the texture of goat cheese different than that of cow milk cheeses?
Texture, particularly that of good fresh and ripened cheeses, is very different in goat milk cheeses. Because of the smaller, finer fat globules, goat milk cheeses tend to feel lighter, silkier in the mouth, and rich without being heavy. This is why they should not be overhandled when used as an ingredient, as this textures breaks down and becomes pasty.
