Tomme de Brebis is a traditional, unpasteurised semi-hard cheese from the French Pyrenees Mountain range The generic name for this cheese is Ossau-Iraty and is one of the oldest cheeses in French history Made from ewe’s milk, it comes from the picturesque mountains of Pyrenees, which divides France and Spain geographically and holds a fertile grazing land for milk-giving ewes. It has a mildly liquorice taste as an impression of Ossau Valley. Made in the Basque country and the Bearn region of France’s Pyrenees Mountains, this small-scale unpasteurised cheese is produced from sweet tasting ewes milk and given a half year to deepen in flavour. The ivory paste or body is firm but smooth with toothsome butterfat. With sweet, nearly caramelly, grassy, and nutty undertones, Brebis can handle full bodied reds and sparking wines with ease and dexterity.
