article Why goat milk?

We've talked about the differences between conventional milk that you buy in the grocery stores and the A2 cow milk that we sell at Kakadoodle. As we are always on the hunt to provide more clean options for our community, we are glad to add goat milk to our menu of offerings.

What makes goat milk so great?

Digestibility: Many people find goat milk easier to digest compared to cow's milk. Goat milk has smaller fat globules and a different protein structure, which can make it more tolerable for individuals with lactose intolerance or cow's milk protein allergy.

Nutritional composition: Goat milk is rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and proteins. It contains high levels of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamin A. The protein in goat milk is also easier to digest and is often well-tolerated by infants.

Fatty acid profile: Goat milk has a unique fatty acid profile. It contains a higher proportion of medium-chain fatty acids, such as capric and caprylic acids, which are more easily absorbed and utilized by the body. These fatty acids have antimicrobial properties and are believed to provide various health benefits.

Allergenicity: Some individuals who are allergic to cow's milk may find that they can tolerate goat milk without experiencing the same allergic reactions. This is because the protein structure in goat milk differs from that of cow's milk, reducing the likelihood of triggering an immune response.

Flavor and versatility: Goat milk has a distinct flavor that many people enjoy. It is often described as having a slightly sweet and creamy taste. This unique flavor makes goat milk a popular choice for cheese production, such as our raw goat milk cheddar cheese.

Although we know that it is easier for some people to digest than cow's milk, if you have severe dairy allergies or lactose intolerance should exercise caution and consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating goat milk into your diet. Just know that we are always looking out for more options to provide you with.
