Note about this food
Lactose content – minimal and age-dependent: Goat cheese contains very low levels of lactose, making it suitable for most individuals with lactose intolerance . Fresh goat cheese may contain trace amounts, while longer-matured goat cheese has little to no lactose remaining . The sugar content is typically 0g or minimal (0.1g per 100g) Lactose: a fresh cheese, so less whey has drained than in an aged one — but curdling still takes most of the lactose out, landing around 0.5-2 g per 100 g. Far below milk, and small portions are usually well tolerated.
