Florette is a double-cream goat's milk soft-ripened cheese from Fromagerie Guilloteau in Pélussin, in France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The paste is stark white and spoonable, ripening under a thin bloomy rind that folds over itself at the edges like a freshly crimped pie crust.
Guilloteau makes this one with a proprietary ultrafiltration step that concentrates the goat's milk before renneting, so the finished cheese carries a much richer, fattier mouthfeel than a typical fresh chèvre. What you taste is bright and clean: a lemon-yogurt tang up front, a pillow of fresh cream through the middle, and just a whisper of mushroom off the rind. It reads as goat cheese for people who think they don't like goat cheese — the barnyard edge is dialed all the way down and the dairy notes are dialed all the way up.
A gentle, spreadable cheese that lands right in the sweet spot between a fresh chèvre and a triple-crème. Serve it at proper room temperature and let it soften into itself before you cut in.
Ultra-creamy and spoonable, the paste yields under the slightest pressure. Stark white through and through, with a thin bloomy rind that folds over itself like a pie crust.
A gentle cheese — bright lemony goat tang on the front, cushioned by the fat, then a clean finish. Approachable for anyone who thinks they don't like goat cheese.
Clean and short — a yogurty tang and a whisper of fresh cream that clears quickly and leaves you ready for the next bite.
Very milky and yogurt-forward, like fresh cultured cream with a citrus edge. The ultrafiltration concentrates that dairy character rather than the barnyard side of goat milk.
No real nut note here — the profile is fresh dairy and lemon, not toasted or brown-buttered.
A faint mushroomy hint from the bloomy rind, more grassy and clean than forest-floor.
No pepper or piquant bite — this is a gentle cheese, no heat.
Bloomy rind
Thin white bloomy rind with a soft, fresh mushroom aroma. It stays delicate rather than turning ammoniated, and rounds out the lemony goat paste with a whisper of earth.
Florette stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.
Bright acidity and fine bubbles cut the richness of the double-cream paste, and the citrus notes in Loire whites echo the lemony tang of the goat milk.
Fresh springtime flavors carry the lemony goat character — crisp apple and blueberry lift the tang, while honey and marmalade play against the salt and cream.

Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
