Filetta
Corsican goat cheese
A Filetta means ‘fern’ in Corsican, and the woodlands there are full of them; and its a fern that marks this soft, washed rind unpasturized cheese, made from the milk of goat grazing in the maquis, giving A Filetta its distinctive perfume. It’s only made in the small dairy of Laurence Mattei in Isolaccio
It tastes best in the summer after it’s aged, served with a dollop of fig jam.
