So I just followed your instructions and made goat milk butter for the first time. Wow. I love it. The taste and texture is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
@@KatinIN We don't have a cow to milk for comparison and I don't know that it's realistic to compare with commercial operations or pasteurizer products. God only knows what all they've done to it. So far as the goat milk butter though, it's very smooth, possibly sikly and doesn't seem to have an oily texture to it like store bought products.
It is funny, but my whole life I have hated butter milk from the stores. Until I started making my own butter, then I discovered that the butter milk was wonderful, nothing like the stuff they sell at the market. Thanks for the information as well, I had no idea goats milk made white butter.
I've recently been diagnosed with MTHF-R gene mutation which means no more cow dairy for me. At my local grocery stores I found goat milk and cheese but not butter. This video helped me answer the question of how I could fix that! Thanks for sharing!
I have seen a lot of videos on making butter but this one is so unique. Leaving the milk out on the counter is different but if your milk is raw no worries. Don’t use pasteurized for that. Also, the board seems like a great idea. Most people use a bowl and you didn’t wash the butter like most do which seems wasteful
Thanks for your video. I am definitely going to start making goat's milk butter. I have stomach problems and cannot have anything made from cow's milk. I have been making goat's milk ice cream, yoghurt, and discovered all kinds of cheeses from goats milk and sheep's milk. My next project will be my own cheese.
I just watched another video on this and the woman didn't shake the jar vigorously, she just tipped it back and forth gently for 15 min and a lump of butter formed in the middle, instead of lots of little bits. She then rinsed the ball of butter in the same jar in cold water, then poured it out until the water was almost clear. Thought I'd let you know in case you want to try the gentle shake method. (:
HI Jonathan. That looks really interesting. How does the taste differ from what you might buy in the supermarket? I've never actually seen goat's butter on sale but I am guessing there would be a natural difference between shop bought and fresh. Someone else commented about adding salt. Can you think of any reasons why you might want to pasteurise the milk before hand? I don't know enough about the process to have an opinion but I think it was created to preserve it for longer. Does the act of making the butter do the same thing, or is there more chance of unwanted bacteria getting in. Sorry I have so many questions because it is all so interesting to me.
The biggest difference is the colour, or lack of it. The taste is quite mild. Pasteurising kills off any bacteria that is in the milk but it also reduced the nutritional content. At the moment we don't pasteurise our milk but if we were to apply to sell it, my expectation is that it will need to be pasteurised. Making butter does mean the fat content is preserved for longer though adding salt extends the life further.
Nice, I guess you can only do this with raw unpasteurized milk from Goats or cows? Can you add some salt to this as I usually buy salted butter. I wonder how well this butter works in recipes? Thanks again!
you are awesome! such a great way of sharing knowledge! we are in Mexico raising goats and would love to learn straight from the source. would you like to come visit? thank you for learning and laughing
+jonathanwallace I am curious about this as well. How "cool" is "cool?" Also, we are trying to become self-sufficient as well. We are hoping to learn tips such as this and others. Why do you not use cow's milk? What other uses does the goats milk have (besides milk, obviously. I've had goats milk before and it's not bad). Do you make goats cheese? Do you ever eat goat? Etc... all those regular newbie questions lol thank you for this video.
Did you know? Goat milk is mentioned in the Holy and Perfect Bible. In the old testament In the book of proverbs In the chapter 27 Last verse' verse: 27 And thou shalt have goats" milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
Do you just have one goat? 😞 I have a similar setup with my goats in with my ducks when shes not out in the pasture. But i keep two. (Currently one of her grown wethers) as they really do need a friend. They are intelligent and emotional and will get depressed and highly anxious if alone. She wont live as long and may show signs of being distressed such as bad behavior. Id urge anyone to kerp two please :)
@@jonathanwallace oh good! Just one giving milk? The way you said that sounded like one. Glad to hear and well done. Great videos too. Im a brit in nz. And thats the dream isnt it? Self suffiency! I'm Having a bit of trouble getting enough cream together for butter, what wuth the natural homogenization of goats milk.. Having to store it in the freezer for longjevity while i add the skimmings
