Floral sheep milk. This is the most important thing to know about these is contained in those three magical words. It's pretty much all you need to know. I'm going to go ahead and leave it there.
Origin: Basque Country, France
Milk: Sheep, unpasteurized
Rennet: Animal
Affinage: 3 months
Notes: It's a good, honest, Basque country cheese, which means you can count on solid flavor and a subtle but worthwhile profile.
Thoughts: The first impression of this cheese is the milky creaminess. It appears quickly and coats the entire palate, not abating until the bite is almost over. Along with this wave of milky goodness is a savory but not overpowering flavor of grassy sheep’s milk, and the typical bite of the raw milk is replaced by a depth and complexity of flavor that leaves a tangy and sweet aftertaste.
Sorry this guy is pretty short, the Functioning Cheese Addict just got a new toy in the mail today and is stepping into the future even as he posts this. Who knows, the next post could come from..... THE CLOUD.
