Goat Cheese is the premium cheese of the barn and one of the best goods to age in a Cask. A Cheese Press turns Goat Milk into Goat Cheese in a little over three hours, and Large Goat Milk comes out as a gold-star wheel. Each wheel is worth far more than cow's Cheese. Goats only give milk every other day, so a goat earns a little less per day than a cow. The higher price per wheel pays off in the Cask, though. In the cellar, Goat Cheese gains more gold per day than anything except the two best wines. Leah and Robin both love it.
Making
Goats live in a Big Barn, and Marnie sells them at her ranch once that upgrade is built. A young goat grows up within a week of regular meals. After that, a fed adult gives Goat Milk every second day, collected with a Milk Pail or an Auto-Grabber. A goat with high friendship and a good mood sometimes gives Large Goat Milk instead.
The Cheese Press handles both sizes. Goat Milk always makes a normal wheel, and Large Goat Milk always makes a gold one. The star rating on the milk itself changes nothing.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Prices
A normal wheel sells for almost twice the price of plain Goat Milk. Quality milk narrows that gap. Iridium Goat Milk is worth slightly more than a normal wheel. Pressing it only pays once the cheese goes into a Cask or a profession lifts its price.
Two Farming professions raise the price. Rancher adds a fifth, and Artisan adds two fifths.
The Cask is where Goat Cheese shines. A wheel turns silver after three days, gold after a week and iridium after two weeks. Iridium doubles the price of the plain wheel. Divided over those two weeks, the gain beats every Cask product except Starfruit Wine and Ancient Fruit Wine. With the Rancher profession and no Artisan, it even overtakes Ancient Fruit Wine.
Gold wheels from Large Goat Milk need only the last week in the Cask. They earn the same per Cask day as normal wheels, but they free the Cask twice as fast.

Uses
Goat Cheese is one of the options for the Artisan Bundle in the Pantry, which rewards a Keg. A Large Goat Milk can also fill a slot in the Animal Bundle next to it, so keeping one back before pressing helps finish both.
At the Sewing Machine, Goat Cheese in the spool makes a Shirt. It also counts as a yellow dye in the pots at Emily's and Haley's house.
Gifts
Leah and Robin love Goat Cheese. Most other villagers like it, from Abigail and Clint to Krobus, Pam and the Wizard. Harvey dislikes it. Giving Goat Cheese to Jas, Sebastian or Vincent backfires, because all three hate it.
These villagers love receiving Goat Cheese as a gift.
