goat meat information
Goat meat is classified into two types, depending on the age
of the goat:
Capretto: milk fed goat, aged up to 6 months
Chevon: grass fed goat, aged 6 - 12 months
Goat meat is the world's most consumed meat and is favoured by
many cultures and religions that have restrictions on the types
of meat they can consume. Consumption of goat meat in western
cultures is increasing, due largely to the nutritional benefits
of being lean, low in cholesterol and high in iron. Goat meat
has a mild aroma and is often compared to venison or veal in its
flavour, but doesn't usually have that same gamey taste.
