2024
Tommette de Brebis is an exceptional artisanal cheese from the Basque Country, crafted with the utmost care and respect for tradition. Made from pasteurized sheep's milk, this cheese is a true representation of Basque cheesemaking techniques, embodying the region's rich culinary heritage.
Tommette de Brebis has a smooth, creamy texture that melts beautifully in the mouth. Its flavor is delicate, mild, and slightly sweet, offering subtle notes of the rich, grassy pastures where the sheep graze. The cheese is well-balanced, not overly pungent, making it an ideal choice for both novice cheese eaters and connoisseurs alike.
