St. Oda is Golspie Dairy’s first French-inspired cheese. It’s reminiscent of world-renowned Loire Valley chevres, but made with whole cow milk from the Golspie Dairy family farm. The flavour is clean and little sweet. The texture is fudgey in the centre but very smooth on the palette.
The cheese is named for St. Oda of Brabant, the Blind Princess of Scotland. Saint Oda is usually depicted wearing a long blue gown with one shoulder bare and carrying a staff or a book (symbolic of her cured blindness). She is always shown with a magpie on her hand and a crown under her feet (symbolic of her rejection of her earthly father’s kingdom).
