Goats' cheese?

Where is goats' cheese from. I think goat's cheese is fine but possessive in plural looks really odd. It suggests that you needed to mix milk from different goats to obtain it.Mikolasj (talk) 09:42, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On a second thought, even goat's cheese is dubious. I believe that goat's milk means milk from a goat but the cheese is not really from the goat (only the milk is). So goat cheese is probably the most correct term as it specifies the kind of the cheese. Mikolasj (talk) 18:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nutritional Information

Think we should add some. Apparently chevre is good for people with sensitive stomachs as it is easy to digest. 364 calories per 100 grams. It contains short-chain fatty acids, etc.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.69.198.244 (talk) 08:45, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article currently contradicts itself "Although cow's milk and goat's milk have similar overall fat contents" "Because goat milk is leaner than that of cows, goat cheese tends to be leaner as well" Jray14upa (talk) 23:00, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

Is goats' cheese really known as "chèvre cheese"? Perhaps this is a United States usage (on a par with the American habit of referring to snails, when eaten, as "escargots")? -- Picapica 22:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's a U.S. usage. Around here, we call it "goats' milk cheese". This probably ought to be disambiguated anyway. There are several cheeses made from goats' milk. --GentlemanGhost 20:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have often heard goat's milk cheese simply referred to as chevre, although this usage is not as common as "goat cheese." "Chevre cheese" is never used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.185.234.24 (talk) 16:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why the brand name mentions?

It doesn't add anything to the article to name brands of goat cheese in two select countried. I don't feel strongly enough about it to change it, though. TobyCallahan 02:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the bit about the USA cheeses. The other cheeses mentioned are named for their regional characteristics, they are not name brands or specific companies. The info about Humboldt Fog under the USA was blatant advertising. If someone has legitimate info about USA goat cheese varieties then they should put up a USA subheading. --K 10 23:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Humboldt Fog add is still there. We should be frank, the USA has done nothing inovative in regards to Goats cheese. There are great makers but nothing new.
