Suffolk Gold is a cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. It is a semi-hard farmhouse cheese with a deep golden paste, and that color is what the name points to. The milk comes from Guernsey and Jersey cows, whose milk is naturally rich and yellow. The texture is smooth and supple, firm enough to slice and creamy enough to melt. A thin natural rind develops as the wheel matures.
