Things You May Not Have Herd!

Posted on 12/05/2011 by Flo

We’re on a very simple mission – to get more people eating and enjoying our goats cheese.  

Myself, Beryl, Ethel, Dot and Eva can baaaaa-rely contain our excitement as this month we go on tour, campaigning for the nation to use more goats cheese when cooking, preparing a cheeseboard or looking for the perfect pairing for their favourite cracker.  

The girls and I have butted our heads together to share some amazing goats cheese facts.  Enjoy!

  1. Lower in cholesterol.  Goat’s milk has smaller fat globules than cow’s milk – meaning Capricorn Goats Cheese is lower in cholesterol whilst just as rich in calcium, an excellent source of quality proteins!
  2. The perfect substitute.  Goats cheese is a fabulous alternative for those unable to tolerate cow’s milk.
  3. For the sleepy heads.  Tryptophan, one of the essential amino acids contained in Capricorn Goats Cheese, has been shown to reduce stress and induce sleep.
  4. Variation is the spice of life.  Different breeds of dairy goat produce their own unique flavour of milk – which is why Capricorn Goats Cheese, made from the milk of goats that graze on the lush dairy pastures of Somerset, is so creamy and full of flavour!
  5. Hearty seafarers.  Goats are good on the water, so in the past they accompanied sailors at sea for months at a time – making them the firm favourite for milk supplies on long voyages.  Ahoy there matey!


Some of the girls are on Twitter too! You can follow @BeryltheGoat, @EtheltheGoat or @DottheGoat to stay up to date with all the goat gossip.

Hi Everyone! Bleat! Bleat!

Posted on 14/04/2011 by Flo

Hello everyone! I’m Flo, the ‘nanny’ of the herd. I must admit when I first heard about this interweb ‘bleating’ thing I didn’t think I would get on with it at all. I thought I would just stick to reading The Daily Hoof or Gossip Goat as I was worried about using a mouse. It just didn’t seem practical or even possible! “That is a kid’s thing” I said. “I would rather be finding the best grass, or seeking out a bargain!”


But since all the girls won’t stop bleating on about it, I thought I would have a go! So, as I have said already, sorry I seem to have developed a habit of rebleating myself, hello world! If you would like to learn more about me and my particularly special goat’s cheese then get in touch.


Please keep an eye on the youngest member of my herd on Twitter to make sure she doesn’t get into trouble! Her name is Dot
