P'tit Basque

P'tit Basque is a semi-soft, pasteurized sheep's milk cheese from France's Basque region in the Pyrenees Mountains. Traditionally, shepherds handcrafted it from leftover curds after milking their ewes, and this method is still used today. During aging, it develops a basket-weave pattern similar to Manchego cheese but has a milder and more delicate flavor. P'tit Basque is creamy and sweet cheese with a nutty finish, featuring a smooth texture and the distinctive aroma of sheep's milk. P'tit Basque can be enjoyed as a snack with fruits, grilled vegetables, berries, cured meats, and even salads.
