Located in:Cheese, ALL Sheep
In September of 2001, in the Picon region of Spain, the very first batches of this new cheese were produced. Made from raw sheep's milk, the cheese is carefully aged under strict conditions for a minimum period of ten months. The wheels are then aged another two months while they bathe in Cognac. The result is a simply stunning product. Fine, aromatic and complex, this wonderful cheese is destined to become a classic to be enjoyed by generations to come.
- Made from unpasteurized sheep's milk.
- Photo depicts whole 8 lb. form of cheese.
- We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
- Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

This cheese has a wonderful, complex flavor, similar to a well-aged white cheddar. It is fine to eat by itself, but also matches well with the robust red wines my husband and I particularly like.
