Breaded Cheese (Cas Pane)

Goat milk, goat feta, goat fresh cheese... my refrigerator is full of all these. Luckily I am from Salaj county and travel through the area, otherwise I would not have access to such rare and 100% natural products. And at affordable prices too, comparable to cow products. The Ghiurutan family goat farm, which I had the honor to visit over the weekend, is located in Fantanele village, Dragu commune in Salaj county, very close to Hida. A family business, still in its early stages as Mr. Viorel Ghiurutan told us, but where I saw the love for animals, for the products that come from their farm... and ultimately a respect for us, the end consumers. I cannot describe it, I do not have enough talent yet to tell you how impressive the visit was, the people I met there, and let me not forget the little goats that kept chewing on my pants and shoelaces non-stop 😊 It is encouraging to know that such things still exist in our country.

If you want to contact them for anything: goats, kids, bucks, milk or cheese, Mr. Viorel Ghiurutan's number is 0745-775779. For those in the area, their products are also sold in Zalau, at the market in front of the Prefecture. I hope they will reach Cluj soon 😉

Until this meeting, I only knew that goat milk is very good for the lungs, but I learned other qualities as well, I will list them below for those interested:

1. the proteins in goat milk are very similar to those in human milk, so it is easier to digest
2. goat milk and cheese made from it has less fat and cholesterol than cow milk; it also has fewer calories, making it suitable for weight loss diets
3. it is rich in calcium and vitamin B2 plus other vitamins, proteins, potassium, magnesium... being effective in fighting stress, insomnia, depression, migraines; it has anti-inflammatory properties and helps lower blood pressure.

And now let me return to today's recipe, from the wonderful goat fresh cheese I made breaded cheese last night with a crust of breadcrumbs enriched with herbs de Provence and I think it turned out great.
