Information
The Picodon is a goat milk cheese from the Rhône valley. It is a very popular cheese in France and in many other countries, but is it sure to consume it during pregnancy? The answer is yes, but in moderation. Goat milk cheeses are considered safe to consume during pregnancy, provided you respect some basic rules to avoid the risk of bacterial contamination. It is important to make sure that the cheese is very fresh and has been kept at the right temperature. It is also preferable to choose the cooked pressed cheeses or soft cheeses to cook, because these are generally safer than cheeses with parsley or raw dough. Finally, it is important to remember that the picodon is rich in sodium and fat, so we should not abuse it. Moderate consumption is the best option to take advantage of the nutritional benefits of cheese without taking any health risk.
