#goat-milk

Goat milk has higher levels of certain medium-chain fatty acids than cow's milk, which is partially why some label it "goaty," especially if the milk isn't chilled quickly. Pasteurization can smooth out some of that edge, which is why the cartons you find in grocery stores taste different than milk from a farm. But even pasteurized, it certainly has its own strong character, much like goats themselves.

Goat milk has a lower lactose content, making it less likely to trigger symptoms of lactose intolerance. However, it is not entirely lactose-free.
