Product Description
We have put together a memorable selection of three fine sheep's milk cheeses. Or, for the linguists out there - ewe's milk cheeses. Whatever you call them, they are certainly delicious. The pure delight we derive from eating sheep's milk cheese comes from the fact that sheep's milk contains twice as much butterfat as cow's milk. It is the butterfat that gives a cheese its creamy goodness. Here are the selections in this assortment: Pecorino ReNero - From Tuscany, ReNero comes to us in a five-pound wheel coated in dried grape skins. Although no grape flavor gets into the cheese, the skins trap the moisture during the three-month aging process, creating a supple yet tangy effect. Agour Ossau-Iraty - Imported from the French Pyrenees, Agour is aged for a minimum of 6 months, giving it a quality and complexity rarely seen. A slightly dry texture gives way to a creamy, buttery quality in the mouth, and the flavors hint at both herbs and fruit, with slightly nutty undertones. Malagon with Rosemary - A specialty from the La Mancha region of Spain, this Manchego-type cheese is covered in fragrant rosemary. The rosemary impregnates the cheese with an unmistakable herb flavor that perfectly complements the nutty sweetness of the Manchego.
