UNPASTEURISED
Notes: A firm yet yielding texture, with flavours of soured cream and nuts.
 
Selected by François Bourgon, this farmstead cheese is a true taste of Basque tradition. Each wheel is marked by the shepherds who make it them,
and will vary in flavour depending on whether the sheep are grazing in the valleys or mountains. The mature cheeses are washed by hand, and ripened in the cellars of Les Saloirs de Louis.
