Recipe for goat cheese foam
Do you love goat cheese? Or are you a bit hesitant about its distinctive flavor?
With goat cheese foam, the taste becomes slightly milder, making it the perfect complementary accompaniment in various dishes.
Goat cheese has been produced for thousands of years, and it’s likely one of the first dairy products in the world. Goat cheese and goat milk are particularly popular in regions with limited access to refrigeration, and for preservation, a relatively large amount of salt is added.
Goat cheese has a very distinctive and tangy flavor that many either love or hate. We Danes have grown up with the mild, rounded taste of cow’s milk, and the significantly more tangy and sharp goat cheese is therefore not for everyone.
However, you can create fantastic contrasting taste experiences by always remembering to combine and balance the sour, sweet, salty, and bitter elements in the kitchen, and the tangy, salty, and slightly sharp taste of goat cheese makes it particularly suitable for complementing the sweetness in, for example, fruit.
July, August, and September are fig season, and that can be advantageously utilized. Goat cheese and figs pair incredibly well together. This is a very simple but incredibly delicious combination – and it’s an easy way to impress guests.
This recipe works perfectly as a starter before the big festive meal. See here.
