Driftwood

£9.85
215GM

Driftwood’s texture is dense and satisfyingly gummy when young, tasting freshly citrus with the aroma of warmed milk. As it ages, under its Geotrichum coat - reminiscent of spent charcoal, the texture becomes more mousse-like and silky, wielding more subtle complex flavours of rice wine vinegar, pepper, and rye.

Whitelake Cheeses

"White Lake’s home is set at Bagborough Farm – just off the Glastonbury festival site, in Pylle Somerset. The milk we use to create our wonderful goat cheeses is provided by Roger’s own beloved herd – a mix of Toggenburg, British Alpine and Saanen goats. Roger and the team take great care to ensure our four-legged suppliers are as happy as can be – they are fed a specially adapted diet ideal for cheesemaking. A local Guernsey herd provide our cows’ milk and our sheeps’ milk comes from a flock also located just down the road. The result is minimal food miles, support for our Somerset neighbours, and truly exceptional cheese!"
