Title: Homogenized goat's milk good for cheese-making?
Post by: MarcG on September 14, 2019, 03:01:21 PM
Hi folks.  A local store sells organic goat's milk.  I wrote to the producer and asked "I understand that goat's milk is naturally homogenized but does your goat's milk go through a homogenization process?" and they said "Yes".  Is this milk still ok for cheese-making?

Thanks for any help
Marc

You can make cheese with homogenised milk without too many problems.  The curd is just a bit more delicate so you have to be more careful when stirring not to shatter the curds.
