@Southern by choice that isn't the norm for Saanens so there was something else going on there. If you want a goat that will most likely out produce any other Sannens are the go to gal. Their milk is low in butterfat but typically the flavor is fine. Toggs on the other hand are known for their strong flavored milk.

It could have been the culture they used in the cheese, they could have been at the end of their shelf life, or it could have been bad milk handling.

I don't own Saanens as I like color in my goats but they do make awesome dairy animals.

Ok so don't hate me but so far all the Saanen "products" I have had are goatie tasting... these were just disgusting! Maybe it is the other factors... Maybe I am just use to Nigie and Lamancha milk.:hu
