Paneer Cheese and Its Health Benefits!
Paneer, also called Indian cheese, can be produced from the milk of sheep, goats, cows, and other mammals. It is prepared by heating raw whole milk and then adding food acid (usually lemon juice, vinegar, or citric acid) to it to separate the curds from the whey. When the milk coagulates, the curds are drained and the excess liquid is pressed out. It is similar to Ricotta cheese except that it is in block form. The resulting paneer is dipped in chilled water for 2–3 hours to give it a good texture and appearance.
From this point, the preparation of paneer in India diverges based on its use and regional variation. In most cuisines, the curds are wrapped in cloth and placed under a heavy weight, such as a stone slab, for 2 to 3 hours and then cut into cubes for use in curries. Pressing for a shorter time (approximately 20 minutes) results in a softer, fluffier cheese.
In Eastern Indian and Bangladeshi cuisines, the curds are beaten or kneaded by hand into a dough-like consistency. In these regions, it is distinguished from ponir, a salty semi-hard cheese with a sharper flavor and high salt content. Hard ponir is typically eaten in slices at teatime with biscuits or various types of bread, or deep-fried in a light batter. In the area surrounding the Gujarati city of Surat, surti paneer is made by draining the curds and ripening them in whey for 12 to 36 hours.
Health Benefits
Paneer, prepared by the most simple method, has many health benefits and it is good to know about them. Indian cheese is a treasure of good nutritional elements. It is easy to digest and can be used in a number of preparations. It is used in most Indian homes. Paneer can be used in sweets, savories, and in gravies of dishes too.
Indian cheese is a rich source of calcium. This helps in building strong teeth and bones. Paneer has the health benefit of helping to prevent osteoporosis, which is a curse of old age. Women who have attained menopause and men above the age of 65 should make it a rule to include such foods in their diet to get 25% of calcium through food.
Paneer eaten in moderation could help reduce weight. It is good to note that many people who wish to lose weight include Indian cheese in their daily diet.
Paneer also gives the health benefits of reducing the development of Insulin Resistance Syndrome. Hence, it is all about tackling the problem of insulin-dependent diabetes.
Including paneer in one’s daily diet helps to give the health benefit of providing the protein required by the body for growth and renewal.
It is, however, also interesting to note that Indian culture believes that paneer cheese provides protection against cancer. Equally interesting is Indian culture states that this cheese helps prevent stomach disorders in people as they grow older. One thing that health practitioners can agree on is that paneer is a storehouse of calcium, which has the benefit of making bones stronger and helping prevent brittle bones as we age. Since it promotes strong bones, paneer also helps to prevent and reduce back and joint problems.
To conclude, anyone who has realized the health benefits of paneer should make it a rule to include this delightful cheese in their diet. The ways in which Indian cheese can be used are many and varied and most people would enjoy the taste and flavor also. We definitely enjoy cooking with paneer here at Mountain Valley View Farm, Inc. and the Getaway Studio.

Goat Milk Is Good for You and Here’s Why!
Goat Milk Is Good for You and Here’s Why!
At Mountain Valley View Farm Dairy, located in the Spokane Valley of Washington State, we have chosen Nubian goats to build the foundation herd for our Spokane dairy. We love the easygoing temperament and friendly personality of the Nubian. Also the Nubian goat milk makes delicious cheese, and we love making small batches of Artisan goat cheese for our Spokane and regional customers.
Goat milk is a natural choice for anyone looking for ease of digestion, maximum nutrition, and excellent health from dairy products. It has more easily digestible short and middle chain fats and protein solids than cow milk and may be enjoyed by many people with lactose sensitivities since it does not contain the alpha S1 casein protein (the #1 allergen in dairy products). The increased digestibility of protein is important for infants and children. In addition, goat milk is 13% higher in calcium with 25% more vitamin B6 and 47% more vitamin A. It is also higher in minerals than cow milk with fewer calories – and the natural buffering qualities of goat milk make it beneficial for people with ulcers and other stomach problems.
Goat milk is considered to be “naturally homogenized” and from a health standpoint, this is deemed much easier to digest than mechanically homogenized milk. At Mountain Valley View Farm Dairy, we will eventually be licensed to sell both raw and pasteurized goat milk but there will be no need to homogenize.
All goat milk products at Mountain Valley View Farm Dairy are free of any recombinant growth hormones – these types of hormones have never been developed for dairy goats. Unlike cows, a bovine animal, growth hormones do not increase goat milk production. We do not use any type of hormones in our feed at Mountain Valley View Farm, Inc. here in Spokane Valley, Washington.
Leading U.S. goat milk products from Mountain Valley View Farm Dairy, located in Spokane Valley, Washington, are free of antibiotics. Seventy-two percent of the milk used throughout the world is from goats. Maybe they are onto something that the United States is missing.
Goats are Good for the Planet
We love our Nubian goats and they are better for our planet. Contrary to popular belief, goats are picky eaters. Goats are browsers not grazers. They eat the dry brush that causes fires and they eradicate poison oak. Goats do not like to eat food off the ground and will not eat soiled feed. In addition goats only drink fresh water.
Because they are light on their feet and because they are smaller, goats leave a smaller carbon “hoof print” and are the perfect addition to any biodynamic farm.
Goats actually help to aerate the soil where they browse and make it more supple for the natural habitat to grow. At Mountain Valley View Farm, Inc., we appreciate their fertilizer help in our garden, and they are great at mowing the fresh spring grass. We just need to keep them from away from our flowers.
Goat milk is as close to perfect food as possible in nature. Its chemical structure is amazingly similar to mother’s milk. It is a complete protein containing all the essential amino acids without the heavy fat content and catarrh (mucus) producing materials of cow milk.
Goat Milk and Digestibility
Goat milk offers superior digestibility to cow milk, due to the following factors:
- Size of fat globules: The fat globules of goat milk are finer than those of cow milk, allowing for a greater surface-to-volume ratio for enzymatic attack. This enables the fat of goat milk to be broken down and digested more easily.
- Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT): Goat milk has more MCTs than cow milk. Lipases attack the ester linkages of the shorter-chain fatty acids more readily, enabling more rapid digestion. MCTs are metabolically unique in that they can be absorbed by a simpler mechanism than other fatty acids. MCTs, which are higher in goat milk than cow milk, have a unique ability to provide energy to the human metabolism, as well as an ability to lower, inhibit, and dissolve cholesterol deposits.
- Curd strength: Goat milk casein forms a less tough and more friable curd than the casein of cow milk. This means the digestive enzymes can break it down more rapidly. Alpha-S1 casein is the main casein in cow milk and this contributes to the firmer curd; goat milk contains low levels of alpha-S1 casein.
Goat Milk and Lactose Intolerance
Great news for those who are lactose intolerant! The lactase enzyme provides for the digestion of lactose, or milk sugar. Persons who do not possess this enzyme are lactose-intolerant. Goat milk contains less lactose than cow milk, and people can generally tolerate goat milk better than cow milk. Goat milk also makes great ice cream. We have many Spokane people request our goat milk for their lactose intolerant child/children or family member.
Goat Milk and Allergies
Great news for those who suffer from milk allergies! Whether goat milk can be tolerated better than cow milk will depend on the specific protein involved in the allergy. Most people with a cow milk protein allergy are allergic to b-lactoglobulin. This protein is also present in goat milk and does not offer these people an alternative. It is worth, however, trying goat milk as an alternative to cow milk, in consultation with your doctor.
Goat Milk and Respiratory Complaints
Drinking goat milk results in the production of less mucus than when drinking cow milk. This can provide relief to people suffering from respiratory complaints.
Flavor
Fresh goat milk from Mountain Valley View Farm Dairy has a delicious, mildly tangy flavor. This flavor is due to the presence of short-chain fatty acids: capric, caprylic, and dcaproic acid. Fresh, correctly treated goat milk usually has a very neutral flavor and is delicious served fresh and ice cold for a refreshing drink. Support your local Spokane Valley, Washington, dairy serving Inland Northwest customers with locally produced milk.
Composition
The composition of goat milk does not differ greatly from that of cow milk. Both kinds contain about 13% dry solids. Milk sugar, also known as lactose, is the main constituent of goat milk. The other main ingredients of goat milk are milk fat, protein, and minerals. One hundred milliliters of goat or cow milk has a calorific value of about 280kJ (67 kcal). The composition of the milk depends largely on the breed of goat and the season. In the summer at Mountain Valley View Farm Dairy, the milk yield is high and the fat and protein contents are low. Conversely, in the winter the milk yield is low and the fat and protein contents are higher.
Lactose
Lactose is a form of sugar found in milk. Lactose is the most prevalent carbohydrate present in milk. The lactose content of goat milk is about 10% lower than that of cow milk. This fact is good news for those want to lower their sugar and carbohydrate intake to improve their overall health.
Milk Protein
Milk protein is comprised of about 80% caseins and 20% whey proteins. This is applicable to both cow milk and goat milk. The caseins are present in the form of micelles: these are large aggregates of protein and calcium phosphate. The number of small micelles is much greater in goat milk than cow milk.
Milk Fat
All fats are not the same. The fatty-acid composition of goat milk exhibits substantial differences from that of cow milk. Goat milk fat contains a considerable amount of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids. The seasonal variation in the fatty-acid composition is lower than that of cow milk. This is due to the relatively consistent diet fed to goats. Goat milk contains a far larger number of small fat globules than cow milk. This type of milk fat is easier to digest.
Cholesterol
Goat milk has a cholesterol content of between 10 and 15 mg/100 g milk (depending on the fat content), comparable to the levels in cow milk. Goat milk has a lower amount of cholesterol than cow’s milk for those wanting to lower their cholesterol levels.
Vitamins
Goat milk contains more vitamin A and D than cow milk. The folic acid and vitamin B12 content is lower than that of cow milk. Current research has put more value on increasing vitamin A and D in our daily diet, and Mountain Valley View Farm Dairy goat milk is an excellent source for these vitamins.
Minerals
The composition of minerals in goat milk and cow milk are different in a few ways. The potassium, copper, and manganese content of goat milk are a little higher than those in cow milk. Goat milk contains a little less zinc than cow milk.
Goat Cheese Health Benefits
When compared to cow milk products, goat cheese is lower in fat, calories, and cholesterol. It also provides more calcium and fewer carbohydrates than comparable cow milk cheeses. Even though goat cheese has fewer calories, it has a full, rich, and creamy flavor. Our goat cheeses are all-natural and contain no hormones, additives or preservatives. Try the many wonderful cheeses at Mountain Valley View Farm Dairy. We are proud of our healthy goat milk products.
Please ask to be placed on our waiting list for our small batch Artisan cheese, which can be made as soon as we receive our WSDA Grade A license from Washington state. We cannot make or sell cheese to the public until we receive our license. The good news is that we can test recipes on our family so by the time we have our license we will have perfected the best recipe and technique.
Why Is a Lactose Intolerant Person Able to Have Goat Milk Products?
Most people who are allergic to cow milk or who are lactose intolerant can safely use goat dairy products. The superior digestibility of goat milk products is primarily due to shorter fatty acid chains and smaller fat molecules than those that occur in cow milk. Forty-seven percent of the worldwide human population is allergic to cow milk in one way or another, while only 3% have any allergic reaction to goat milk. Therefore, most people with cow milk allergies or lactose intolerance can usually tolerate goat milk. In addition, most goat cheeses are made with a culture that converts the lactose to lactic acid, which is much more easily digested.
One of the more significant differences from cow milk is found in the composition and structure of fat in goat milk. The average size of goat milk fat globules is about 2 micrometers, as compared to 2½ – 3½ micrometers for cow milk fat. These smaller sized fat globules provide a better dispersion and a more homogeneous mixture of fat in the milk. Research indicates that there is more involved to the creaming ability of milk than merely physical size of the fat globules. It appears that their clustering is favored by the presence of an agglutinin in milk, which is lacking in goat milk, therefore creating a poor creaming ability, especially at lower temperatures.
The natural homogenization of goat milk is, from a human health standpoint, much better than the mechanically homogenized cow milk product. When fat globules are forcibly broken up by mechanical means, it allows an enzyme associated with milk fat, known as xanthine oxidase, to become free and penetrate the intestinal wall. Once xanthine oxidase gets through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream, it is capable of creating scar damage to the heart and arteries, which in turn may stimulate the body to release cholesterol into the blood in an attempt to lay a protective fatty material on the scarred areas. This can lead to arteriosclerosis. It should be noted that this effect is not a problem with natural (unhomogenized) cow milk. In unhomogenized milk, this enzyme is normally excreted from the body without much absorption.

Icelandic Sheep at Mountain Valley View Farm!
Mountain Valley View Farm is excited to announce the arrival of Icelandic sheep at our farm! We have added five of these beautiful animals to our growing flock of sheep, which also includes Babydoll Southdowns. In the future, we will also add East Friesians to our flock, but for now we are tickled pink to welcome the Icelandic breed to our family farm.
Icelandic sheep are one of the oldest and purest breeds in the world today. The Vikings brought them to Iceland 1100 years ago, where they became into a hardy breed known for their ability to endure cold, harsh temperatures and forage efficiently for food even in difficult conditions. Icelandic sheep are unique in that a small portion of the population developed a keener intelligence. These leader-sheep are actually able to help farmers manage their flock by remaining highly alert to predators and other dangers, guiding the other sheep to and from pasture, and even sensing the onset of bad weather.
Although most sheep in Iceland are raised only for their meat today, the breed has a long and excellent milking history. Ewes typically produce 1 liter of milk each day for 8 weeks following the birth of a lamb, but quite a few have been known to produce 2-3 liters per day, making them wonderful milk producers. Mountain Valley View Farm is raising Icelandic sheep principally for their milk, which is rich, creamy, and sweet as well as high in nutrients.
Icelandic sheep have a thick, dual coat of fleece to keep them warm during the harsh winters. The long outer coat is called tog and the fine inner coat is called thel, and both are used to make wool products. Tog is classified as a medium wool and is used primarily for weaving and making durable products like rugs, while thel is softer and finer, making it ideal for clothing. Tog and thel can also be used together to create a knitting wool known as lopi. The Icelandic sheep is the only animal that can produce the distinctive lopi yarn. Starting in October, Mountain Valley View Farm will begin selling the colorful, warm wool produced by our Icelandic sheep.
Fresh, Organic Chèvre Cheese from Mountain Valley View Farm
Keisha with one of our Nubian doelings
Mountain Valley View Farm, Inc. is working on becoming a certified dairy through the Washington state Department of Agriculture! Our delicious, creamy cheese is handmade on our farm from the sweet, rich organic milk produced by our small herd of Nubian dairy goats. We believe strongly in a sustainable lifestyle that is good for the environment, our animals, and our customers. Our goats are treated with love and care as part of our family, and they are hormone and antibiotic free.
We offer a soft, natural chèvre as well as four flavored varieties: Garlic, Sundried Tomato, Black Olive, and Green Olive. Each of our delightful cheeses is perfect to spread on crackers or to add a special touch to any meal.
Like goat milk, goat cheese is not only tasty, it is very healthy and nutritious. It is lower in calories, fat, and cholesterol than cheese made from cow milk, and has a higher content of important vitamins and minerals such as calcium and Vitamin A. It is also a significant source of protein. Furthermore, it is easier to digest than cow cheese and can be eaten by those with sensitive stomachs, including infants and many people who are lactose-intolerant.
Goats were some of the first domesticated animals in the world, and goat cheese is possibly the oldest manmade dairy product, with a history that stretches back thousands of years. Although we in the United States have come to rely more heavily on dairy from cows, goat milk and cheese is a staple in the rest of the world, prized for its unique flavor and excellent nutritional values. Mountain Valley View Farm, Inc. is proud to continue this ancient tradition by crafting the highest quality artisan chèvre to tantalize and satisfy your tastebuds.

Dairy Products from Mountain Valley View Farm
Please click on the picture above to see the flyer in a larger, easier-to-read format.
The delicious, creamy milk produced by our Nubian dairy goats and East Friesian sheep is not only gentle on the stomach and naturally more nutritious than cow milk, it is also raw and organic.
Benefits of Raw, Organic Milk
Raw milk comes fresh from the animal, unpasteurized and unhomogenized. Organic milk comes from healthy animals that have never been given growth hormones and are fed a natural grass diet free from pesticides and other chemicals. Both raw milk and organic milk have significant health benefits, and the goat milk provided by Mountain Valley View Farm is both.
Many people are already aware of the factors in favor of organic milk: a tasty beverage that is free of chemicals (particularly pesticides) that accumulate in the body, causing an increased risk in cancer and other health problems. Organic milk is also higher in nutrients, particularly Vitamin A, beta-carotene, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. But not everyone is aware that the health benefits of raw, unpasteurized milk go even deeper. The pasteurization process uses extreme heat to kill all bacteria found in raw milk; however, this also kills all of the good bacteria that aid in digestion and destroys the naturally occurring enzymes that make raw milk so nutritious. Furthermore, in removing fat from the milk, commercially processed dairy is lacking in significant portions of fat-soluble vitamins and triglycerides—good fats that the body needs. Even more importantly, pasteurization destroys the immunoglobins (antibodies) in raw milk that provide a boost to the immune system that can help fight off viruses and bad bacteria. For more information about the benefits of raw milk, click here.
Benefits of Goat Milk
Although Americans traditionally drink cow’s milk, in most other countries goat milk is a staple of everyday life and many Americans are surprised to discover that it is actually much healthier and more nutritious than what they usually drink. Goat milk has a much higher protein content and also contains more calcium, Vitamin A, riboflavin, and good fat than cow milk–but at the same time, it is significantly lower in bad fat and cholesterol. In addition, it is gentle on the stomach and easy to digest, even for infants and those who are lactose intolerant. It is also one of the highest sources of biorganic sodium, an essential mineral that is important for a healthy digestive system and is thought to reduce the risk of arthritis. For more information about the benefits of goat milk, click here.
Benefits of Sheep Milk
Like goat milk, sheep milk is naturally more nutritious and healthy than cow’s milk—but even better, for it contains significantly higher levels of protein, calcium, Vitamins A, B, D,and E, zinc, magnesium, and phosphorous than goat’s milk. Although sheep milk is higher in fat than cow or goat milk, these are mainly heart healthy unsaturated fats that have no negative impact on cholesterol. Sheep milk also contains the highest concentration of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) found in any type of milk. CLA is known to have cancer-fighting properties.
Sheep milk is gentle on the stomach and easy to digest, even for infants and those who are lactose intolerant—once again, even moreso than goat milk. Up to 75% of lactose intolerant people, even those who cannot tolerate goat milk, are able to drink sheep milk without any adverse side effects. Most people find sheep milk tastier than cow or goat milk: rich, sweet, and creamy without the slight tanginess of goat milk. Many who try sheep milk once never want to go back to anything else. For more information about the benefits of sheep milk, click here.
With all the nutrition of raw, organic milk combined with the added benefits of goat and sheep milk, our farm fresh milk is an excellent choice for your family! Please note that we do understand any caution you may have about raw milk, and will be happy to pasteurize it upon request.
