Learn how to pronounce the name of the glorious sheep's milk French Basque cheese, Ossau-Iraty.

Ossau-Iraty is a traditional sheep’s milk cheese from France’s Pays Basque and Béarn regions. This semi-hard beauty from the Pyrenees has a hay-coloured patchy rind and a pristine ivory pâte. Its aroma is surprisingly buttery and sweet with a touch of barnyard.

On the palate, you will detect notes of toasted wheat, roasted nuts, fresh grass and wildflowers. As the cheese ages, its creamy texture starts to become firm and calcium crystals start to appear. The flavour also tends to be more savoury.

The traditional Basque way to serve sheep’s milk cheese is to thinly slice the cheese. It is then served with a local Itxassou cherry paste and crunchy bread. It will also pair beautifully with a juicy Bordeaux, a robust Rhône or a tawny Port.
