Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Be sure to store goat cheese in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped in plastic and away from eggs, butter and other foods that might easily pick up flavors.
  • tip 2
    Look for cooking parchment paper with the other paper products at the supermarket. It's great for making cookies and other items—clean up is extra easy!
