An Approachable Sheep's Milk Cheese

Imported from France, Istara P’tit Basque Ewe's Milk Cheese resembles Manchego, but has a milder flavor. It is made with pure ewe’s milk from small herds of sheep that graze peacefully in the French Pyrenees Mountains. It is still "cut" by hand with a cheese maker's loving touch. This gentle technique protects the subtle, tender flavors. Once formed into a basket weave mold, it is aged for 70 days and encased with wax for preservation. It is sweet with a nutty finish and uniquely creamy for a semi-hard cheese.

INSTRUCTIONS & STORAGE

Try it in a savory bruschetta, paired with tomatoes, olives, and rustic bread; or in a gourmet ham sandwich. P'tit Basque Fromage de Brebis was brought to the American market as a more approachable or accessible sheep's milk cheese, in other words, no so funky and sheepy.
