Description
Said to possibly date back to 3000 BC. Hailing from the Basque region of France, this cheese is named for the two picturesque regions in the Southwestern Pyrenees Mountains – Ossau located in the valley of the Bearn and Iraty in the beech forests of the Pays Basque.
Aged for approximately eight months, Ossau Iraty can have a pungent gamey aroma but is full of flavor that melts in your mouth. This semi firm cheese has a slightly oily texture with a savory and sweet nutty flavor
