Say Cheese!

"What a friend we have in cheeses! For no food more subtly pleases." - author William Cole

Cheese is one of the world's favorite foods. In fact, it's such a favorite with
people, that today has been designated as National Cheese Lovers Day.
Whether you munch it with crackers or savor it in a delicious recipe, cheese adds a tasty twist to any dish. One reason that cheese is so popular is the wide variety available to choose from. Hundreds of types of cheese are produced. The style, texture and
flavor of cheese depends on several things, including the origin of the milk, the
animal's diet, the butterfat content and aging.
While cheese from cows milk is themost common, the milk of several other animals is also used to make cheese. Milk from goats, sheep, buffalo and even camels are used to make cheese. Goat cheese is popular with many people because of its health benefits, versatility and great taste. Just ask anyone who buys goat cheese at the market from Noble Springs Dairy Farm. Not only does goat cheese have less calories and fat, it also has a high amount of calcium and other nutrients, such as vitamin A and vitamin B-6. Pick up some goat cheese from Noble Springs Dairythis Saturday. You'll find delicious varieties of chevre spreads such as Cherry Berry or Garlic and Herb. Or take home a block of yummy feta cheese from Noble Springs and enjoy in a salad or pizza. It's great in mashed potatoes too.
