Goat Set Yoghurt
Goat set yoghurt is pot-fermented goat’s milk with a tender white gel and clean caprine tang. The set is often slightly more fragile than rich cow full-fat pots because of different protein and fat structure, but good farmstead goat yoghurt spoons beautifully. Serve cold with honey and herbs; avoid aggressive stirring if you want the clean break. Excellent for people who prefer goat dairy flavour. Keep well chilled and use promptly—goat yoghurt’s delicate aromatics fade when old.
