Sweet and Nuanced

Initial sweet lactic aromas give way to a pleasant briny whiff. On the palate many notes of mild nuts and tangy milk, mellowing to sweetness. The texture is divine, with an amazing combination of slight dryness and buttery creaminess. Soft barnyard notes at the finish and a quality long mouth feel lingers.

Tasting Notes:

Ossau-Iraty Lait Cru is a traditional cheese is made from the milk of ewe's grazing in pastures in the mountains of the Pyrenées.

It has a sem-firm texture, is supple, and slightly grainy, but is also creamy and buttery.

Flavours are herbaceous, nutty, and fruity when winter milk is used, while the summer cheeses have aromas of grass and flowers. It is aged for at least 6 months.

Pair with Tempranillo, Zinfandel.

Our cheese mongers hand cut every cheese to order. We will always try to cut the exact weight ordered, however your piece might be slightly over or under the amount listed. But please know that we cut it freshly and specifically for you.

If you order several cheeses, we will usually make up for shortcomings on weight, if any, on the other cheeses ordered.

All cheeses are wrapped in special cheese paper and sealed to preserve freshness during transit.

Every order includes all the necessary thermal packaging and ice packs required for current weather conditions. Our main focus is getting the freshest product delivered to your door.
