IDIAZABAL SMOKED SHEPHERD'S CHEESE (1 KG)

Idiazabal Smoked Shepherd's Cheese – 1kg – Basque Country & Navarra

Idiazabal Smoked Shepherd's Cheese is a traditional Basque and Navarra cheese made from raw Latxa sheep's milk. Carefully crafted, this smoked cheese undergoes a minimum maturation of 2 months, developing a firm texture, rich aroma, and distinctive smoky flavor.

Approximately seven litres of raw Latxa sheep's milk are required to produce 1kg of matured cheese. The milk is gently heated, coagulated with rennet, cut into small grains, slowly cooked to extract whey, and then pressed in molds marked with unique identification numbers. Finally, the cheese is washed with salt water and matured at 8–15°C with 80–95% relative humidity.
