Woodside Cheese Wrights - Florence

As Florence ripens, its paste transforms, offering a luscious, fudge-like texture beneath the rind, while the flavours develop into a harmonious balance of gentle acidity and nuanced creaminess. The circular shape of the cheese enhances the maturation process, allowing the geotrichum to permeate deeply, resulting in a profile that’s both balanced and refined.

Key Features:

• Exclusive seasonal cheese made from the highest quality goat’s milk

• Lactic-fermented for a subtle, complex flavour profile

• Handmade with a distinctive O-shape, enhancing maturation

• Geotrichum mould creates a one-of-a-kind wrinkled rind, adding visual and flavour depth

• A creamy, fudge-like texture that ripens beautifully beneath the rind

• Best paired with Champagne, aged Semillon, or Chardonnay

• Available October to April, when the milk is at its finest

Crafted with care and patience, Florence is distinguished by its unique O-shaped form, which creates a large surface area, making it ideal for affinage. Its delicate, wrinkled rind, developed by the geotrichum mould adds a distinct character to every wheel, ensuring that no two pieces are alike. The rind’s intricate pattern reflects the beauty of batch variation, a hallmark of true artisan cheesemaking.
