Ossau-Iraty is a celebrated French sheep’s milk cheese from the Basque and Béarn regions of the Pyrenees, offering a taste that is as elegant as it is timeless. Made using traditional methods and aged to perfection, this semi-firm cheese boasts a rich, buttery texture and a nutty, subtly sweet flavor with notes of hay, toasted almonds, and wildflowers.
Its supple, ivory paste and natural rind reflect the terroir and craftsmanship of its high-altitude origins. As one of only two sheep’s milk cheeses in France with AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée) status, Ossau-Iraty stands as a symbol of heritage and refined taste.
Perfect for those who appreciate rustic sophistication, this cheese pairs beautifully with full-bodied reds, aged whites, or fruit-forward preserves. Whether featured on an elevated cheese board or enjoyed alongside charcuterie and wine, Ossau-Iraty brings Old World luxury to your table.
