Category: Cheese varieties

Goat cheese production dates back to at least the 5th millennium B.C., making it one of the most ancient forms of cheese. Understanding what cheeses contain goat milk reveals a diverse world of flavors and textures far beyond simple fresh chèvre, ranging from tangy and soft to firm and nutty.

In the U.S., any cheese aged less than 60 days must be made from pasteurized milk to ensure safety. This federal regulation influences the market for artisanal products, but for those wondering **which cheese is unpasteurized?**, the answer often lies in specific aged, artisanal varieties prized for their complex flavors.
