I had goat butter in British Columbia this summer. It was sort of white

clear looking.

See, I knew I could be wrong. I stand happily corrected.

LOL - but I thought you'd tell why goat butter is that clear white

color? It doesn't look white like Crisco. It looks clearer.

Also the organic butter from those jersey cows from the small dairy in

British Columbia was brilliant yellow. Someone told me the butter gets

really yellow if the cows get marigolds, but maybe those cows from that

small dairy in BC were getting great grass? It didn't do a thing for

the goat butter. (-: Unfortunately all the stuff was pasteurized - of

course.

Eek...thanks but I don't feel qualified on this. Didn't Suze F. say

that goats utilize the beta carotene and chloryphyll better, so it

doesn't pass into the milk like it does with cows? I think that is

correct. or Belinda, or , or Suze would know.

Hey you'uns (my Texas comin' through),

It is my understanding that goat milk is naturally homogenized and that

the cream does not separate very easily from the milk. I am sure some

goat folks like Belinda will chime in here. I have never really seen

goat butter for sale and would be surprised if I did. But you know

what? I might be totally wrong on this.

Later taters,

Need a separator to get the cream from goat's milk. We've made goat's milk butter but the whiteness of it can be a turnoff for some folks, mother-in-law's in particular.

Hello Laurel,

It was nice meeting you Tuesday. I have seen and bought goat butter

in Central Market in Dallas. I think it was produced somewhere

around New York.

Hi ,

To just chime in - I have purchased goat butter! I seen it in our

Whole Foods store here in St , MN. I used it quite a few times

last year. It was very expensive ($10 a lb. or so), and in the

imported cheese section of the store. It also was imported, can't

recall from where, but it tasted wonderful, and was wrapped in foil

then in a wooden basket-type container. Of course I don't usually

spend that much on butter! Just wanted to try it - and liked it! It

was white and unsalted.
