Ossau-Iraty by Matocq for Prodilac is a traditional French semi-hard cheese made from sheep’s milk, presented in a 4.5kg wheel. This cheese holds an AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée) designation, ensuring its origin from the Basque and Béarn regions and adherence to established production standards.

Detailed Information

Produced from sheep’s milk, Ossau-Iraty develops a firm yet supple texture through a controlled aging process. The paste is smooth and dense, protected by a natural rind formed during maturation.
The flavor profile is balanced and expressive, with nutty and slightly sweet notes complemented by hints of grass and hay. As the cheese matures, it gains depth and complexity while maintaining a clean and rounded finish typical of AOP sheep’s milk cheeses.
