Amidst the scenic rolling mountains of the Pyrenees, the geographic border dividing France and Spain, lie vast pastures providing fertile grazing for milk-giving sheep. It is from this milk that Agour, a family company steeped in tradition, creates this magnificent cheese. Aged for a minimum of six months, this AOC protected cheese is of a quality and complexity rarely seen. A slightly dry texture gives way to a creamy, buttery quality, and the flavors hint at a subtle mingling of herbs and fruit, with slightly nutty undertones. A real gem, and one you're sure to enjoy. <p>For dessert, try Agour Ossau-Iraty accompanied with Les Folies Fromage Fruit Spreads. Black Cherry and Licorice make for an incredible combination.<ul><li>Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.</li><li>Photo depicts whole 9 lb. form of cheese.</li><li>We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.</li><li>Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.</li></ul><b>World Champion</b> honors went to Agour Fromagerie of France for its Ossau Iraty sheep's milk cheese at the World Cheese Awards in London (June 2006).
