Cacio di Bosco al Tartufo

Il Forteto

A beautiful balance between garlicky truffle and nutty, sweet, almost caramelized aged sheep's milk. This delicious cheese is firm, smooth, and oily, dotted with big flecks of truffle.

Made in Italy by Il Forteto, a farmers cooperative founded in 1977.

Etorki, meaning “origin” in Basque language, is a pasteurized sheep’s milk cheese made in French Basque region of the Pyrénées. The milk used to make this cheese is sourced from local black- or red-faced Manech ewes herded by local shepherds and dairy farmers. It takes six gallons of ewe’s milk to produce one wheel of Etorki.

The smooth, supple and velvety interior is a consistent white with occasional holes or slits. It has a sweet and earthy aroma suggestive of the caramel flavours released by the pressed and aged sheep’s milk.

Ossau Iraty

Istara

Ossau Iraty is a classic sheep's milk cheese made in France with the milk of the Manech and Basco-Bearnaise ewes.

While it complies with strict Appellation d'Origine Controlée (AOC) regulations, the shape of each wheel can vary from region to region.

Ossau is aged for a minimum of ninety days until its paste has turned a luscious ivory; its fragrance is reminiscent of toasted hazelnuts, and its taste encapsulates the sweet, buttery flavors that a great sheep's milk cheese can deliver.
