A rare farmhouse cheese...

A very rare farmhouse -- raw milk Ossau Iraty...

in stock now at Forsyth....



Ossau Iraty Vallée d’Aspe Pur Brebis
Whole Raw Sheep's Milk Ossau Iraty
Most of the Ossau-Iraty we see here in the states is the large factory (non-fermier) produced version, but we just received an artisan hand-crafted farm-made (fermier) version. It is made from raw sheep's milk cheese from the Manech Ewe in the Pyrenees mountains. This cheese is more aged and more flavorful than the "regular" Ossau-Iraty that we carry year round. It has a great aged, nutty and very robust flavors.
