Ossau-Iraty is made with the milk of the Manech and Basco-Bearnaise ewes. While it complies with strict \u003cem\u003e\"Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée\"\u003c\/em\u003e (AOC) regulations, the shape of each wheel can vary from region to region. Ossau is aged for a minimum of ninety days; we age it further in the Artisanal Premium Cheese caves 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. This cheese pairs nicely with many wines, especially Sauvignon Blancs, Madirans, or Merlots. Pairs well with cider.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foodworks","offers":[{"title":"½ lb.

This style of pressed sheep milk cheese has been produced in Sicily for millennia. Traditionally, the cheese would be aged over open fires, imparting a light smoky aroma and flavor. Thanks to the efforts of the Slow Food movement, the artisanal method of production has been maintained for this cheese. The flavor of Fiore Sardo could be described as sharp; it is a little salty and tangy, assertive yet delicious. It can be enjoyed as a table cheese on its own, or when it is well aged it can be used as a grating cheese.
