Florence Bio Maritime - Goat's milk cheese with seaweed

“Cheese is the poetry of milk, an ode to happiness made of textures and flavours.”

Florence Bio Maritime is a goat's milk cheese that carries the sea within it.

Somewhere in Flanders, in a Belgian workshop where care in every gesture comes first, this cheese is made from organic goat's milk. It is ladle-moulded and salted by hand. Then comes the rare idea: a thin layer of dried seaweed, slipped between the bloomy rind and the creamy paste. A breath of ocean in a goat's cheese.

Flemish land meets the sea

The paste is soft, melting and creamy like a Brie; the delicate white bloomy rind gently wraps it all. But it is the layer of seaweed that changes everything: discreet, almost invisible, lightly briny and subtly saline, with that little something that recalls fresh oysters and the open sea air.

The marine notes stay subtle, never overpowering: they complement the goaty mildness and give it unexpected depth. A goat's cheese for those who don't like goat's cheeses that are too goaty; a sea-inspired cheese for those who had never thought of pairing the sea with cheese. An organic Belgian cheese like very few others.

A unique flavour profile

• Texture: soft, creamy, melting paste — goat's milk Brie style

• Taste: mild and creamy, lightly salty, subtle marine notes (seaweed, oyster), goaty mildness on the finish
• Special feature: a layer of dried seaweed between the rind and the paste — a rare signature

How to enjoy it
