American Cheese Society Judging & Competition Awards - 1st Place

2016

Baserri is a traditional, Basque-style sheep's milk cheese made by Barinaga Ranch in Marshall, California. The name "Baserri" means "farmhouse" in Basque, reflecting its rustic origins. This semi-hard cheese has a firm yet creamy texture and is aged for several months to develop its deep, nutty flavor with hints of grass and herbs.


The rind is natural, contributing to the cheese's earthy character. Baserri pairs well with cured meats, rustic bread, and robust wines, making it a versatile and flavorful addition to cheese boards.
