Every 100 kcal of aged goat cheese brings 6.7 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 32nd of the 81 dairy foods in this database and 363rd of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 30.5 g per 100 g ranks 4th in its group.
Around 27% of the calories in aged goat cheese come from protein, so it is moderately protein-dense. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
By weight, fat outweighs protein in aged goat cheese: 35.6 g of fat per 100 g against 30.5 g of protein, a ratio of 0.9 to 1.
Set against lactose-free milk, another dairy food entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.5 g more protein (lactose-free milk has 8 g per 1 cup).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving quoted here is measured by weight at 28 g, and it covers about 17% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
