Goat milk is scarce in Algeria, and where it exists it usually moves through informal markets with no cold chain and no pasteurisation. A published study on the physico-chemical and microbiological quality of goat milk sold in the informal market in Laghouat — our own region — documents exactly that problem.
Cabri does the opposite: one herd, one milking, pasteurisation at the workshop, bottling the same day, and a cold chain all the way to the shelf.

Goat milk vs cow's milk: the real differences
The question we get asked most, answered with numbers rather than promises.
| Per 100 ml (indicative) | Goat milk | Cow's milk |
|---|---|---|
| Lactose | ≈ 4.4 g | ≈ 4.8 g |
| Protein | ≈ 3.6 g | ≈ 3.3 g |
| Fat | ≈ 4.1 g | ≈ 3.7 g |
| Calcium | ≈ 134 mg | ≈ 120 mg |
| Phosphorus | ≈ 111 mg | ≈ 93 mg |
| Potassium | ≈ 204 mg | ≈ 150 mg |
| Fat globule size | ≈ 3.5 µm | ≈ 4.5 µm |
| αs1-casein | Very low | High |
| Medium-chain fatty acids | Higher proportion | Lower proportion |
Indicative values based on USDA FoodData Central and the published literature on caprine milk composition. They vary with breed, stage of lactation, season and feed.
What those numbers actually mean
Two differences genuinely matter. First the fat globules, roughly a micron smaller in goat milk: they emulsify more finely, which is why goat milk does not cream the way cow's milk does and why people so often describe it as lighter.
Second, αs1-casein, which is barely present in goat milk. It is the protein that forms the densest curd in the stomach; less of it means a softer curd. That is the mechanism most often given for why many people digest goat milk more easily.
The rest — slightly more calcium, phosphorus and potassium, slightly less lactose — points the same way, but these are modest gaps. A glass of goat milk is not a supplement. It is good milk.
Worth knowing
Goat milk contains lactose. It is not a lactose-free substitute, and it is not suitable for people with a cow's milk protein allergy without a doctor's advice — the proteins in the two milks are close and cross-reactions are common.
Goat milk — frequently asked
Goat milk is a good source of calcium, protein, phosphorus, potassium and vitamin A. Its smaller fat globules and very low αs1-casein content often make it easier to digest than cow's milk. Like any dairy product it belongs in a balanced diet — it is not a remedy.
Pasteurised. The milk is heated at our Laghouat workshop, then cooled and bottled the same day it is drawn. We do not sell raw milk: between Laghouat and Algiers, pasteurisation is not optional.
Keep the bottle between 0 and 4 °C and drink it within three days of opening. Unopened, follow the date on the bottle. Goat milk that turns slightly acidic is not wasted, incidentally — that is where lben starts.
Not as a substitute for infant formula. Whole goat milk is not formulated to meet an infant's needs and should not replace a formula. For anything to do with feeding a baby, ask a paediatrician.
Yes, and it is a good use for it. Pasteurised, non-homogenised milk works well for home yogurt and for a lactic curd. You will need suitable cultures — it is the same principle as what we do at the workshop, on a smaller scale.
