Soft goat cheese is one of the Italian specialty cheeses. A good goat’s milk cheese has a strong but not intrusive flavor. One of the classic Italian appetizers calls for it served as small truffles cover with dried fruit grain. Chopped pistachios fits perfectly with this cheese, allowing you to recognize and enhance both flavors.
