Morphology
The meaning 'a cheese made from goat milk' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'goat' (an animal) and 'cheese' (dairy product). This noun–noun compounding pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows regular English noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun goat cheese comes from the simple idea that cheese is made from a goat's milk. That milk often gives a 'tangy' flavor, so the name tells you both where the cheese comes from and how it can taste.
