Scientists have long sought to bring the heart health benefits of fish oil to more foods. The product is loaded with omega-3s, which have been shown to support well-being in a number of ways. However, many researchers have found that fish oil simply doesn't mix all that well with most foods.

Except, that is, for goat cheese. A new study published in the Journal of Food Science indicates that fish oil can be added to goat cheese without it affecting the taste or the smell. Furthermore, the omega-3 source tends to combine well with dairy products, making it an ideal possibility for fortification.

Few people get enough omega-3s in their diet, despite the fact that the nutrients are among the most important for supporting various areas of health. Fortifying foods may be a promising way to boost consumption. However, finding the right foods to fortify has been a challenge.

The new findings may make it easier for food manufacturers to bring omega-3s to more food products, thereby supporting the health of more people. Until these products start hitting store shelves, individuals can increase their consumption of omega-3s by taking nutritional supplements.
