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.

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.
