 Istara AOC
Price: $12.75
Istara AOC - Details
This is a wonderful version of the traditional Ossau-Iraty-Brebis from the Rigal Family of cheeses. It has a dense, semi-firm texture sometimes broken with a few thing fissures or holes but otherwise compact. The flavor is refined and ballanced -- aromatic herbaceaous and fruity qualities with a buttery rich finish. This cheese is similar in style to an Etorki but has much more character and complexity largely due to its AOC status. Anyone who enjoys sheep cheese will quickly become an addict.
Recommended wines: Full bodied, fruity reds Consistency: Firm, oily Taste: Fruity Brand name: Louis Rigal or Besnier
