Is it feta or Istanboli or something I can easily buy from the market without it being labeled goat cheese?

    English: Goat Cheese:
    France
    France produces a great number of goat’s milk cheeses (Chèvres), especially in the Loire Valley and Poitou, where goats are said to have been brought by the Moors in the 8th century.[2] Examples of French Chèvres include Bucheron, Chabis, Couronne Lochoise, Crottin de Chavignol (largest produced goat cheese AOC), Pélardon, Picodon, Pouligny Saint-Pierre, Rocamadour, Sainte-Maure de Touraine, Chabichou du Poitou, Valençay, and Pyramide.
    Spain and Portugal
    Mató is a Catalan fresh cheese made from cow’s or goat’s milk. Castelo Branco is a Portuguese goat’s milk cheese.
    United Kingdom
    Pantysgawn is a Welsh goat’s milk cheese, and gevrik is a Cornish goat’s milk cheese (literally meaning ‘little goat’).[3]
    Greece
    Greek halloumi, feta, mizithra and anthotyros are traditionally made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk. In Greece, goat cheese has a very long history; in the Odyssey, Homer refers to a woman stirring wine with goat cheese to reduce the acidity of the wine.
    Norway
    Brunost, which literally means brown cheese, is made in Norway. It is often sold in the USA under the name Gjetost (goat cheese).

    Goat cheese is not so much the type of cheese like cheddar or feta or mozzarella. The type of cheese comes from the kind of bacteria cultures that they add to the milk. Different cultures make different types of cheese. The goat part is just telling you where the milk comes from. Most likely, any cheese that you buy that was made from goats milk is going to be labeled as such. If it is that you don’t want someone in particular to know that they are eating goat cheese then you should just lay the cheeses and crackers (or whatever) out on a plate to serve it. Don’t know where you are but I have a Kroger in my town and this is the only place that I can find my favorite goat cheese that is labeled Chevre Silver Label goat cheese. Yum Yum. I like to eat it on rosemary triscuits.

    You should be able to find feta at any grocery store, it is probably the most common cheese from goat’s milk
