Accepted reply:
Fresh goat cheese is soft, young and not always log-shaped. Soft- or surface-ripened goat cheese develops a white or sometimes wrinkly rind as it ages over weeks; texture-wise, it can range from creamy to crumbly.
Goat cheese softens when exposed to heat, although it does not melt in the same way many cow cheeses do. Firmer goat cheeses with rinds are sometimes baked in an oven to create a softer, more viscous texture.

The key to a soft and spreadable goat cheese is simply mixing it with a spoonful or two of milk or cream. Mash them together in a small bowl, and within seconds, the goat cheese will be just softened enough to be spreadable.5 jun
One of the most common reasons for a dry, crumbly texture in cheese though is over acidification. This means that through one or more steps the acid in your cheese has been allowed to over develop, reducing the amount of protein in the cheese, causing it to become more brittle.27 may
I have a feeling that some of the goatiest (not a word but it should be) goat's cheese is mellowed a little by heat. You could try thin slices on (part of) a pizza, or warming it, pressing it onto toast and finishing under a grill or with a blowtorch.21 feb
Goat cheese can be used as a substitute for cream cheese in many ways. For instance, spread it on toast or bagels for breakfast. You can even use goat cheese as a healthier alternative in recipes that call for cream cheese, such as dips. Substitute goat cheese for sour cream.
The higher moisture content in all fresh cheeses means they melt differently than firm cheeses do.
Sprinkle goat cheese on hot pasta and it will remain in clumps, but as soon as you toss the pasta and cheese together, the cheese melts into a wonderful sauce-like consistency.
