Made in a 2.5 pound wheel, this exceptional sheep's milk cheese is carefully wrapped with sturdy chestnut leaves to create a rind and protect the cheese while it ages. The resulting texture is semi-soft with a rich, buttery feel from the high butterfat content of the sheep's milk. The flavor, at first delicate with a pleasant tangy bite and full, complex flavor, is reminiscent of the grasses and hay that the sheep eat. When well aged, this cheese may develop a decidedly earthy, strong, unforgettable character. Product Metrics: | Country: USA | | Region: Okanogan, Washington | | Milk: Sheep | |
