Product Details
Location
Driftwood is handcrafted in Somerset, England, by expert cheesemaker Roger Longman and his skilled team at White Lake Dairy. This rural region is famous for its rolling green hills and strong dairy traditions. The goats are raised with care on lush pastures, producing rich, flavourful milk. The dairy uses traditional methods to craft Driftwood, focusing on quality over quantity. Every wheel reflects the landscape, the seasons, and the dedication of the people who make it. As a result, Driftwood offers a true taste of Somerset’s farming heritage.
Tasting
Driftwood is a soft, ash-coated goat’s cheese with a striking appearance and bold character. When young, the cheese has a light and delicate flavour. It tastes fresh, clean, and slightly tangy. As it matures, the flavour deepens. Bright citrus notes appear first, followed by gentle spice and a hint of black pepper. The ash rind adds earthy complexity and a touch of bitterness that balances the creaminess inside. The texture also changes over time. At first, it is mousse-like and fluffy. Then, a gooey layer forms just beneath the rind, offering a rich, creamy mouthfeel. The centre stays firm and smooth, creating contrast in every slice.
Pairing
This sensational goat cheese pairs perfectly with vibrant white and rosé wines with high acidity. For an extra touch of indulgence, pair it with a dollop of chilli jam or fig chutney to enhance its creamy and flavourful profile.
Recipe
Driftwood shines in a variety of dishes. Serve it on a salad, add it to a pizza, or feature it on a cheese board. Its creamy texture and rich flavour profile elevate any culinary creation.
