How Long Does Goat Cheese Last?
Stored properly in the freezer, goat cheese can last for several months. Longer if vacuum sealed.
However, fresh goat cheese can last 2-3 weeks if stored properly in the refrigerator, by storing it in a sealed container in the fridge.
For best enjoyment, bring cheese to room temperature before serving.
How to Make Goat Cheese
Goat milk, and goat cheese, is more widely consumed in other countries over cow’s milk and cheese. It’s no wonder we have so many amazing recipes to make with it!
The global dairy goat industry is expanding rapidly. In addition to wholesome and nutritious milk-based products, dairy goats provide sustainable livelihoods, especially in limited resource areas, and enable smallholders to accumulate assets. Well-managed goats can also benefit the environment through weed control, fire prevention, the maintenance of biodiversity, and mitigation of some effects of climate change.

One of the best things I ever did many, many years ago, was to take a cheese making class hosted by my dear friend Casey.
Casey runs a grade A raw goat dairy in South Carolina and teaches cheese-making classes. Where you learn how to make, and sample, three cheeses in three hours.
It was the most enjoyable, and most delicious time. Not to mention it started us on our journey to owning and raising our own dairy goats, Nigerian Dwarf Goats.
Obviously, you don’t have to own goats to make these recipes, but if you would like to become a goat owner, we can help you decide the best goat breed for your homestead.
Every good recipe starts with good ingredients, and you can’t get any better than homemade cheese.
Our friends shared their step-by-step process with you on how to make cheese from scratch.
