Goat’s cheese, in comparison to cow’s cheese, boasts of lower fat, calories and cholesterol yet also provides more calcium. It is perfect for spreads, dips,  and use in sandwiches.  It has a chemical profile that makes it beneficial for people suffering from intolerance to dairy products derived from cow's milk. It contains less lactose as compared to cow's milk and cheese with smaller fat globules which make the cheese easier to digest.

Goat's cheese contains fewer harmful substances than cow's cheese, and provides more vitamin and mineral content.

LOW IN CALORIES

A 1-oz. serving of a typical brand of goat cheese contains 70 calories, 45 of which are from fat. A 1-oz. serving of a typical brand of cheddar cheese, however, contains 110 calories and 80 from fat. If you substitute a serving of goat cheese for cheddar each day for a week, you will cut nearly 300 calories from your diet.

LOW IN SODIUM; High in Protein, Vitamins and Minerals!

Excessive intake of sodium in one's diet can cause higher blood pressure and heart disease. Most doctors advise to limit sodium intake to about 1,500 mg per day.  Since goat's cheese has 65 mg of sodium in an ounce serving, it is generally safe to indulge in!  Goat's cheese is high in vitamins D, K, thiamine and niacin compared to cow's cheese, as well as Vitamin B, riboflavin and mineral phosphorus.  It is a great source of micronutrients for both kids and adults alike.
