Product Description

Amidst the scenic rolling mountains of the Pyrenees, the geographic border dividing France and Spain, lie vast pastures providing fertile grazing for milk-giving sheep. It is from this milk that Agour, a family company steeped in tradition, creates this magnificent cheese. Aged for a minimum of six months, this AOC protected cheese is of a quality and complexity rarely seen. A slightly dry texture gives way to a creamy, buttery quality, and the flavors hint at a subtle mingling of herbs and fruit, with slightly nutty undertones. A real gem, and one you're sure to enjoy.

For dessert, try Agour Ossau-Iraty accompanied with Les Folies Fromage Fruit Spreads. Black Cherry and Licorice make for an incredible combination.
