El queso de cabra no es algo con lo que haya crecido, no es un sabor que conozco ni un alimento que estuviera entre mis favoritos y las pocas veces que lo había probado en alguna reunión no llegaba a gustarme ese sabor tan marcado, un sabor ácido muy profundo cuyo retrogusto no terminaba de complacerme, así que nunca me animé a comprarlo para comerlo en casa; sin embargo, algunos días atrás estuve en una reunión para celebrar un cumpleaños y sirvieron un queso de cabra como pasapalo. Lo probé sin muchas ganas, esperando decepcionarme, pero ocurrió todo lo contrario. ¡Este queso de cabra fue un completo deleite!
Seguí comiendo el rico queso que fue todo un éxito entre los presentes y me enteré de que la anfitriona ofrecía este queso a la venta, el cual hace un amigo de ella. Me encantó esta buena noticia y, por supuesto, le dije que estaba interesada en adquirirlo. Así lo hice, el precio de este queso es de $10 el kilo, un precio bastante bajo en comparación con los quesos de cabra industrializados. Por tratarse de un queso tan rico, que se siente tan fresco, me parece un excelente precio. Adquirir un producto artesanal de calidad es algo maravilloso.
Lo he usado en ensaladas y para comerlo así solito, es que me gusta tanto. También pensé que hacer unas bolitas con este queso para saborizarlas y conservarlas en aceite de oliva como hacen con el labneh, unas bolitas hechas con yogur griego.
Goat cheese is not something I grew up with, it's not a flavor I'm familiar with, nor is it one of my favorite foods. The few times I tried it at gatherings, I didn't really like its strong flavor, a very deep sour taste with an aftertaste that I didn't find pleasant, so I never felt like buying it to eat at home. However, a few days ago, I was at a birthday party and they served goat cheese as an appetizer. I tried it without much enthusiasm, expecting to be disappointed, but the opposite happened. This goat cheese was a complete delight!
I kept eating the delicious cheese, which was a big hit with everyone there, and I found out that the hostess was offering this cheese for sale, which is made by a friend of hers. I was thrilled to hear this good news and, of course, I told her I was interested in buying some. So I did. The price of this cheese is $10 per kilo, which is quite low compared to industrialized goat cheeses. Since it is such a delicious cheese that tastes so fresh, I think it is an excellent price. Purchasing a quality artisanal product is something wonderful.
I have used it in salads and eaten it on its own because I like it so much. I also thought about making little balls with this cheese to flavor them and preserve them in olive oil, as they do with labneh, little balls made with Greek yogurt.

Para realizar este aperitivo, ocupé una parte de queso de cabra y media parte de queso crema. Para ser más precisa: 80 gramos de queso de cabra y 40 gramos de queso crema.
To make this appetizer, I used one part goat cheese and half a part cream cheese. To be more precise: 80 grams of goat cheese and 40 grams of cream cheese.
El queso de cabra lo desmenucé con un tenedor lo más finamente posible, ablandé el queso crema y amasé ambos hasta formar una bola con este par de quesos.
I crumbled the goat cheese with a fork as finely as possible, softened the cream cheese, and kneaded both together until they formed a ball.
En un plato coloqué orégano y paprika. Pesé bolitas de 10 gramos y las pasé por las especias y fui reservándolas.
I placed oregano and paprika on a plate. I weighed out 10-gram balls, rolled them in the spices, and set them aside.
En un envase de vidrio previamente esterilizado coloqué aceite de oliva y fui añadiendo las bolitas de queso de cabra, también agregué una hoja de laurel en el envase. ¡Y así de fácil están listas! Recomiendo dejarlas macerando por varios días para que tomen más sabor.
I put olive oil in a previously sterilized glass container and added the goat cheese balls, along with a bay leaf. And that's it, they're ready! I recommend leaving them to marinate for several days so they take on more flavor.
¡Espero que te guste esta receta, cocina fácil y con sabor!
I hope you like it!
