Picture of ossau-iraty-brebris cheese

This gourmet Ossau-Iraty-Brebis develops a nutty refined taste during the maturation time of 6 months. Ossau-Iraty-Brebris is not the only hard sheep's milk cheese from France, but the most famous one it is.

The sheep graze in the fertile pastures of the rolling mountains of the Pyrenees, the natural geographic border between France and Spain. This gourmet cheese has a firm to hard texture, depending on the age and is perfect for grating. The natural rind is smooth grayish beige. The cheese is pale yellow in color with a supple texture with scattered small holes.
