Guest guest Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 Hi all, I've been getting fresh raw goat's milk which has been wonderful, but my source has dried up the herd as they will kid soon. I can get frozen goat milk but am having problems using it. The freezing changes the flavor and my boys won't drink it, plus it separates out when thawed and is very grainy. The kefir I tried with it came out all separated and yuchy. I tried hot chocalate this morning for my two boys, but they didn't like the grainyness. Does anyone else have these problems and is there anything I can do to make this frozen milk more palatable? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does freezing it greatly alter the nutritional value of the milk? Thanks so much for all your input! Barb ****Barb, According to Bieler it does. From my clinical experience frozen milk is worthless. Plus, the taste of goat milk seems to become much stronger when frozen and thawed. Bianca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comment on the relative *value* of frozen milk, but I can absolutely back you up on the strong " goaty " taste of frozen goat milk. Just a couple of days ago I put a cup of frozen blueberries in a bowl and poured goat milk over them. The goat milk that I usually get has absolutely no " goaty " flavor, but the flavor was almost overpowering in the slushy blueberry and milk mixture.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 We buy milk from an excellent goat farm here and you honestly can't tell the difference between fresh and thawed frozen milk. Either is really good the first day or so and then it begins to get goaty. I think the flavor of the frozen is so good because it's frozen immediately after milking. ine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, I don't bother freezing it unless it is done an hour or so after milking. Belinda LaBelle Acres www.labelleacres.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
