OSSAU-IRATY (OWE-so ear-a-TEE)
Description: PYRENEES- Named for the regional river, valley and villages, Ossau-Iraty actually refers to a family of sheep's milk (Brebis) cheese. The prized cheeses are extraordinarily flavored with a lactic, nutty, rich slightly oily, firm texture. This cheese pairs nicely with black olive tapenade and Sauvignon Blanc or a Madiran.
