Very likely not anything like farmstead cheese.  Remember that everything in 
the grocery store is made to sell, not to eat.  Many people have bought that 
dismal, dismal goats milk in the carton in the mart and said, "Yuck!  If this 
is goat's milk, I don't to have anything to do with it."  Yuck indeed, but 
that 
stuff is just plain awful and resembles fresh goats milk in no way whatever.  

Cheese isn't quite that stark, but store cheese, especially the fresh, soft 
cheeses, are quite a let down from homestead made cheese.

Goat milk here goes into Feta.  It is stored in heavy brine and lasts more 
than a year.
