Dairy
Goat
Goat butter is white to ivory, with a clean caprine note and a softer texture than many cow butters at the same temperature. It spreads when cooler and browns with a distinct aroma. Excellent on bread with honey or herbs; use in cooking where goat character fits. Specialty product—smaller batches, higher price. Keep well wrapped to protect the delicate aroma.
