Filetta

Filetta is a French cheese hailing from Isolaccio near Bastia. The cheese is made from raw sheep's milk, but there's also a goat's milk version, made from January until July. Underneath its fern-adorned washed rind, the texture is supple, dense, and smooth.

The cheese is left to age from 4 to 6 weeks. The aromas are earthy and herbal and the flavors are mild, mushroomy, and herbaceous, with a slight hint of the fern sprig. It's recommended to serve Filetta with fresh bread, honey, and fig jam. Pair it with a glass of Muscat du Cap Corse or Patrimonio.
