About
A traditional English aroma variety valued for its smooth (almost sweet), delicate, slightly spicy aroma that produces the classic Golding finish. As with Fuggle, it forms the basis of many well-known and respected recipes.
Origin
Goldings have been grown in England for over 100 years and, as with Fuggles, were named after the grower who developed them. Golding is a moderate to high yielding aroma variety that is grown in Herefordshire and Worcestershire and East Kent, both areas are under pressure from wilt infection to which Golding is particularly susceptible.
