It is tangy, like Bleu cheese, and little nibbles of it go a long way.
Really really good with chicken salad, and ham is marvelous with goat cheese.
Not too expensive to buy a small amount and test it.
Kind of dry.
I like it.
Cream cheese is too sweet, compared to goat cheese.

Use the Montrachet. You won't regret it, I guarantee it. You need a cheese that's sharp enough to bit back with these ingredients.

but it calls for fresh mozzarella. I've been really happy with it because I don't like the "tang" of goat cheese.

So I recommend that you make it with fresh mozzarella and enjoy!

don't replace goat cheese with cream cheese. The only thing in common is texture, but goat cheese will become your favorite. It's not as common as "cow" cheese but that's just because fresh goat cheese has some local distribution issues.

But please please please please don't do it.

Would you want someone here to make a suggestion? (Can't be me, I don't know the nuances between types).

What is wrong with these people??? It is fantastic. It is strong. It might take getting use to.

But people are more willing to try hot, then hotter, before they are willing to experience the wonders of goat and sheep cheeses. They are awesome like most near east cuisine.

but something to add a little tang or pungency to it.'

Good luck!

Might buy a small amount of it as dixiegrrrl suggested - to try first.

I do love blue cheese...if goat cheese is similar then maybe I would like it.
