According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), cheese is giving Americans heart attack each day. According to their research, Americans are getting too much fat from cheese. Fatty cheese is everywhere – on sandwiches, on salads, and even on fries. And what is more surprising is that, regular cheese is doing more damage to our hearts than beef and butter.

So what do we do in order to stay fit yet satisfy the creamy cravings of our mouth?

One type of cheese that is getting the attention of the health conscious is goat cheese. Goat cheese is known for its tangy flavor, but what most people do not know is that it is much healthier than the regular cheddar cheese.

Perhaps one of the finest goat cheese ever made is the Cappello del Mago cheese. This type of goat cheese is made by the Gianluca family in the small town of Fobello, Peidmont, Italy. Every piece of the Cappello del Mago is considered a masterpiece. It is slightly crumbly, creamy, and is full of flavor. On top of that, it tastes perfectly in the mouth – just with the right balance of flavor and acidity.

The Cappello del Mago comes in an approximately one pound wheel. It is shaped like a drum and has a natural mold rind with a lot of healthy yellow mold around. When you buy a Cappello del Mago cheese, you will be getting a wheel neatly wrapped in straw and brown paper, put together nicely with sealing wax. The Cappello del Mago is so fine, it won the top prize for goat cheese in Valsesina and the Piedmont region in 2008.

The Capello del Mago cheese is a great substitute for regular cheese because it is low both in fat and calories. While cheese from cow's milk generally has around a hundred calories and ten grams of fat per ounce, the Capello del Mago cheese only has eighty calories and six grams of fat. This makes the Capello del Mago cheese a better choice if you are the health conscious type.

Aside from having less fat and calorie content, the Capello del Mago cheese is also a good alternative for people who are lactose intolerant. This is because the fat molecules in goat cheese are shorter than that of the regular cheese, making them more digestible and light to the stomach. And since goat milk is leaner than that of cows, goat cheese tends to be leaner as well. That is why people who are in a diet simply cannot say no to the many health benefits of Capello del Mago cheese.

Enjoy the Capello del Mago cheese with bread, baked and warm; or have it alone with a little roasted garlic on the side. But whichever way you want it, the Capello del Mago cheese will always have that bold, full flavor that regular cheese don't. So go ahead and try the Capello del Mago goat cheese today!
