Onetik Brebis Ossau Iraty 4.5kg
Description
Onetik cheese dairy is located in the small village of Macaye at the foot of the Pyrénées Mountains in Basque Country; for over 30 years Onetik has collected milk from Berria Cooperative farmers to make authentic and delectable cheeses using the traditional methods handed down by our ancestors.
Ossau Iraty cheese is 100% sheep milk cheese made exclusively with milk from the Basque sheep (Manech and Basco-Bearnaise).It has a succulent and complex flavour, developing notes of hazelnut and caramel as it matures - for at least 4 months. The grey cheese rind is not edible . Onetik dairy at the foot of the Pyrennes mountains has been making this traditional Basque cheese for many years. Also available with the AOP Espelette - a locally grown chilli pepper with a unique and intersting sweet and savoury mix.
To match the complex flavours and slightly salty zest of this cheese, pair with a sweet white wine from Jurançon.
