Which of the following milk types contains the least fat percentage?

Sheep milk
Goat milk
Cow milk
Buffalo milk

The correct answer is: Goat milk

Goat milk is known for having a relatively lower fat percentage compared to the other types of milk listed. Typically, goat milk has about 3.5%-4.5% fat content, which is generally less than sheep milk and buffalo milk. Sheep milk has a higher fat content, often ranging from 6%-8%, and buffalo milk can have the highest fat percentage, commonly around 8%-12%. Cow milk usually has a moderate fat content, approximately 3%-4%, but within the context of the other options, goat milk stands out as the one with a relatively lower fat percentage. These differences in fat content can affect cheese-making processes and the characteristics of the resulting cheeses, which is significant for anyone working in cheese production or tasting. Understanding the fat content in different types of milk is crucial for cheese professionals who wish to achieve specific flavor and texture profiles in cheese.
