An age-old delicacy with contemporary style, goat offers opportunity to innovate and delight with a difference. Take a new look at this timeless fare.
Naturally lean goat has lower fat and cholesterol, and fewer calories than chicken, pork and beef. A good source of protein with a mild flavor when pasture raised, consumption of goat has increased markedly as diners explore new gastronomic horizons and welcome its versatility and flavor. Because of its low fat content, it is cooked slowly and often marinated or cooked in a sauce for a flavorful and tender dish.
Popular around the globe, the consumption of goat is interwoven within the fabric of tradition and celebration. It is one of the most widely consumed meats in the world, with a strong following in the USA. Rediscovered by the health food sector and white tablecloth restaurateurs, goat is an exciting “new” gourmet item with huge potential. Elegantly referred to on menus as Chevon or Capretto, this lean meat lends itself to innovation and can be utilized in a wide range of culinary styles. Pilot Brands’ goat meat is natural, free ranging, and contains no added hormones or steroids.
