Fig & Marcona Almond Goat Cheese
What You Should Know
You’d find this on the specialty cheese shelf or as a centerpiece on a charcuterie board at a casual get-together—an indulgent, slightly upscale snack meant for sharing. The creamy pasteurized goat cheese, sweet fig spread and oil‑tossed Marcona almonds give a rich, spreadable texture and gourmet vibe; the ingredient list is mostly recognizable whole foods but includes added sugar, pectin and acidity regulators that point to conventional processing (NOVA 3).
