Barcode 4501277800080 – Laclette Queso Cabra Natural (Goat Cheese)

This barcode is associated with a product labeled "Laclette Queso Cabra Natural" (a type of goat cheese). Below is a detailed breakdown based on available information and general product characteristics:

Product Identification

• Type: Goat cheese (Queso Cabra) – A fresh or semi-soft cheese made from goat’s milk, often with a mild, tangy flavor and creamy texture.
• Brand/Manufacturer: The barcode suggests it may be produced by Laclette, a brand known for cheeses, though this specific product could also be a regional or store-brand version (e.g., sold under a supermarket label). Some Laclette products are distributed in Latin American markets (e.g., Mexico, Central America).
• Variation: "Natural" implies it is unpasteurized (if not specified otherwise) or minimally processed, which may affect shelf life and safety considerations.

Key Characteristics

1. Ingredients:

   • Primary: Goat’s milk (may include pasteurized or raw milk; check packaging for specifics).
   • Possible additives: Salt, cultures, enzymes (for coagulation), and sometimes starter cultures (e.g., Lactobacillus).
   • No artificial preservatives (if labeled "natural"), but some commercial versions may contain calcium chloride (for texture) or nitrates (if smoked, though this product is not).
   • Allergens: Milk (primary), may contain traces of soy or dairy additives in processing facilities.

2. Texture/Taste:

   • Fresh goat cheese: Soft, crumbly, and slightly tangy with a buttery mouthfeel.
   • Aged versions (if applicable) would be firmer and sharper, but "natural" suggests it is likely fresh or lightly aged (typically <30 days).

3. Shelf Life:

   • Unopened: ~1–2 weeks refrigerated (if pasteurized); shorter (5–7 days) if unpasteurized.
   • Opened: Consume within 3–5 days to avoid spoilage (goat cheese has a higher moisture content than cow’s milk cheese, making it more perishable).
   • Freezing: Possible for short-term storage (up to 1 month), but texture may change.
