Dairy

Anglo-Nubian

A tier

Anglo-Nubian goats carry long pendulous ears and a roman nose; their milk ranks among the richest in the dairy-goat world. Butterfat often sits well above four percent with elevated solids, giving a full, slightly caramel sweetness that some drinkers prefer warm and others reserve for cheese. Compared with Saanen, the flavour is more assertive without the sharp bite of poorly cooled mixed herds. Kitchen use leans toward soft and semi-soft cheese, confectionery fudge, and cultured products where body matters. The milk foams less aggressively than cow milk in cappuccino but makes excellent ricotta-style curds and ice cream bases. British, Commonwealth, and tropical herds keep Anglo-Nubians when quality fat matters more than pure volume.
