I found one or two goat cheeses that were ok, but not great, I found this cheese yesterday at Costco and it is wonderful! Trying to pace myself but after a month without cheese it isn't easy. Any other suggestions for good non-cow cheese would be most appreciated. <em>Hi KP, I'll post some more of my favorite non cow cheeses soon. Thanks for your interest. - RG</em> About a month ago I was told to avoid all cow’s milk products–very distressing as I LOVE cheese.

I was always chastised for not eating the rind...until I asked my French cousins & a hotelier there... they don't eat it either although a majority of French probably do eat it. If you like the taste of the rind, then eat it and if you don't, then don't. Hard core cheesies may say you have to but its OK to ignore them. <em>Hi Marc, thanks for your input.

It doesn't taste that different from the cheese itself. It certainly doesn't taste like the icky rind on St. Andre et al. I always eat the rind.
