Butter Goat

What is Goat’s butter?

Goat’s butter is a dairy product made from the cream of goat’s milk. It has a milder taste and a slightly different nutrient profile compared to cow’s butter. Often, it’s sought out by people looking for an alternative to cow’s milk butter due to its unique flavor and digestibility.

Why do I have an intolerance to it?

Intolerance to goat's butter is usually linked to lactose or casein sensitivity, similar to cow's milk products. Goat's milk contains lactose, which some people struggle to digest due to the lack of lactase enzyme. Additionally, though goat’s milk proteins are different from cow’s, some people with dairy protein sensitivities may still experience digestive issues.

What can I do about it?

If you experience intolerance to goat’s butter, opt for non-dairy alternatives like almond butter, coconut butter, or vegan spreads. Lactose intolerance can sometimes be managed with lactase enzyme supplements. If the issue lies with proteins in goat’s milk, choosing completely dairy-free butter alternatives might be necessary to avoid discomfort.
