They're also fed a chemical-free, corn \u0026amp; soy free feed that contains a blend of barley, oats, peas, alfalfa, and minerals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs your goat milk A2\/A2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes! All goats naturally produce A2\/A2 milk. This is because goats (and all mammals) did not undergo a genetic mutation like cows do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose A2\/A2 cheese?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA2\/A2 has to do with the type of beta-casein protein in dairy. A2\/A2 milk contains 100% beta-casein protein, whereas most cows in the US produce a mix of A1 and A2 proteins. A2\/A2 milk can be easier to digest and may help those with milk intolerance or allergies. Many people who cannot consume regular cheese can eat A2\/A2 cheese!\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"question5\" name=\"q\" class=\"questions\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"plus\"\u003e+\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003clabel for=\"question5\" class=\"question\"\u003e\n    How it's Made\u003c\/label\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"answers\"\u003e\nOur 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:\u003cbr\u003e\n1. The goats are milked using old fashioned pneumatic milkers. \u003cbr\u003e\n2. The milk is poured into the bulk tank to cool down quickly.\u003cbr\u003e\n3. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n4. Cheese culture is added, and the milk ferments for a few hours.\u003cbr\u003e\n5. Rennet is added. This coagulates the proteins to make the curd.\u003cbr\u003e\n6. The cheesemaker drains the whey. Celtic sea salt is added to the curds and the whey is squished out in a cheesecloth.\u003cbr\u003e7. The finished chevre is packaged in containers.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"question9\" name=\"q\" class=\"questions\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"plus\"\u003e+\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003clabel for=\"question9\" class=\"question\"\u003e\n    Honest Disclosure\u003c\/label\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"answers\"\u003e\nAs 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Miller's Bio Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42155635507265,"sku":null,"price":13.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/3685\/8177\/files\/1741292964_67ca05a482380.jpg?v=1750859442","url":"https:\/\/millersbiofarm.myshopify.com\/products\/raw-plain-goat-chevre-for-cats-dogs-8oz","provider":"Miller's Bio Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
