Description
This is a very distinctive Basque cheese which has made a big name for itself. It’s made from unpasteurised milk from the Latxa sheep, long cured for 4 months and then lightly smoked.
As you’d expected from a mature cheese, the texture is firm. The taste is powerful and unique. The base is a well developed sheep’s cheese, similar to Manchego, but with raw milk for maximum flavour. However, it’s also smoked for a further taste element. To produce one kilo of this Idiazabal cheese seven litres of milk are needed.
Aranburu carries the Idiazabal D.O.sticker of guarantee and mark of quality.
