Idiazabal cheese

Designation of Origin

As old as the Basque Country itself, Idiazabal cheese has been produced in the Basque Autonomous Region and Navarra for thousands of years. It is a cured cheese, with a minimum maturing time of 2 months, and it is exclusively made of pure latxa sheep milk, and with animal rennet, using a press.

 

It can be smoked or non-smoked. It has a penetrating flavour to ripened milk, rennet and smoke, really delicious.
