Information
Pasteurised sheep's milk.
Ewe's milk aroma with a soft, sweet flavour and a hazelnut finish. Melting paste with a subtle fruity flavour. Unique, delicately carved rind, characteristic of the wicker moulds of yesteryear.
Produced by the Istara cheese factory in Larceveau, in the heart of the Basque Country, France.
History
A Basque shepherd's son had the idea of making his sheep's cheese tommes in a small wicker basket. The result of this experiment was a cheese with a singular appearance, with a rind surprisingly sculpted by the weaving of his basket.
