What is Ossau-Iraty Cheese?
Ossau-Iraty (also known as Ossau Iraty Fermier) is a well-known French cheese that holds the AOP status. It is named after two geographic regions in the French Pyrenees: Ossau in the Béarn region and Iraty in the Basque Country.
The cheese has a distinctive appearance with a natural, brushed, and rustic rind. The interior of the cheese is firm and smooth, ranging from ivory to pale yellow. The flavour profile is rich and complex, featuring nutty, fruity, and sometimes floral notes. The cheese is typically aged for a minimum of 90 days, but some versions are aged for a much longer period.
