Producer & Origin
Producer & Origin
Ossau-Iraty is a traditional French sheep’s milk cheese from the Basque and Béarn regions, celebrated for its smooth, creamy texture and rich, nutty flavour. Aged for several months, it develops a delicate balance of fruity and grassy notes with a subtle earthiness. Its natural rind ranges from golden to reddish-brown, protecting a pale ivory interior that’s firm yet supple. Versatile and delicious, Ossau-Iraty pairs beautifully with crusty bread, fresh fruit, and a glass of full-bodied red or white wine.
