Idiazabal Cheese (Cured) Wedge | 6.00 ounces (OZ) | Pack of 1
- Laxta and Carranzana sheep produce a rich, buttery raw milk that helps to create the region's favorite Spanish D.O. (Denominacion de Origen) cheese - Idiazábal. Similar to its Spanish cousin, Manchego, this cheese is lightly pressed and gently smoked.
- Idiazabal is a pressed cheese made from unpasteurized sheep milk, usually from Latxa and Carranzana sheep in the Basque Country and Navarre. It has a somewhat smokey flavor, but is usually un-smoked.
- The cheese is handmade and covered in a hard, dark brown, inedible rind. It is aged for a few months and develops a nutty, buttery flavor, eaten fresh, often with quince jam. If aged longer, it becomes firm, dry and sharp and can be used for grating.
- Laxta and Carranza sheep bask on the hillsides of Basque, and the rich, buttery raw milk they produce helps to create the region's favorite Spanish D.O. (Denominacion de Origen) cheese - Idiazábal. Similar to its Spanish cousin, Manchego, this cheese is lightly pressed and gently smoked, a nod to its humble history of drying by the fireplace.
- The particular sheep breeds give exceptionally rich, fatty milk, resulting in a buttery mouth-feel and an intriguing gamy character. Best enjoyed hearthside with a mug of hard cider or a fruity Spanish red.
