Shelf Life & Storage Tips</label>
<div class="answers">Our goat chevre should last about 2 months in the fridge after you receive it. But, of course, once it's opened there are so many variables that can affect shelf life (contaminants getting in, etc). It may last 7-10 days in the fridge once opened.<br>
<br>
Yes, chevre can be frozen for up to 6 months for best quality.<br/></br></br></div>

How it's Made</label>
<div class="answers">
Our chevre is made in small batches from raw, unaltered milk. It's heated to no more than 110F to create a good environment for culturing. Here's how we do it:<br>
1. The goats are milked using old fashioned pneumatic milkers. <br>
2. The milk is poured into the bulk tank to cool down quickly.<br>
3. The milk is put is lightly heated to no more than 110F in a stainless steel pot. This maintains all of the nutrition in goat milk while also creating the right temp for culturing.<br>
4. Cheese culture is added, and the milk ferments for a few hours.<br>
5. Rennet is added. This coagulates the proteins to make the curd.<br>
6. The cheesemaker drains the whey using a cheesecloth. Celtic sea salt, raw honey, and vanilla is added to the curds.<br>7. The finished chevre is packaged in containers.

<div class="answers">
As with all beef or veal rennets, the rennet contains trace amounts of sodium acetate, propylene glycol, and potassium sorbate. In 1 lb of finished cheese, there's about 0.00066 grams of rennet. Any additives would be miniscule.
<br><br>
As with all cheese cultures, the culture contains trace amounts of maltodextrin. About 1/2 tsp of culture is used to make about 1 lb of cheese. Maltodextrin amounts would be miniscule.
<br><br>
The cheese is packaged in HDPE plastic, which is the most environmentally stable of all plastics. It does not contain BPA, phthalates, heavy metals, harmful fumes, or allergens. But all plastic has the potential to leach chemicals.
