‘Agour’ unpasteurized sheep's milk cheese OSSAU IRATY AOP, aged for 10 months, reminiscent of toasted wheat and wildflowers. As it ripens, it acquires a hay color and is naturally covered with mold. Traditionally eaten with black currant or cherry jam, but you can definitely taste it alone or in other ways. This cheese is produced in France, in the Ossau valley. The milk for this cheese is sourced only from three breeds of sheep: Manech tête noire, Basco-Béarnaise, and Manech tête rousse, which roam freely in the mountains. It bears the AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée / Protected Designation of Origin) label, which is granted to products whose quality and characteristics are notably linked to their geographical origin, environment, and whose name refers to a geographical location. All stages of the product's production must occur in that area. This is one of three sheep milk cheeses in France that bear this label.
