Ossau-Iraty AOP made by Agour is a traditional sheep’s milk cheese from the Basque region of France. This cheese is recognized for its distinct, smooth texture and rich, nutty flavor, which it acquires during a minimum maturation period that can last several months.
As a recipient of the AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) status, Ossau-Iraty by Agour is produced under strict guidelines that ensure its quality and authenticity. These standards dictate aspects such as the origin of the milk, the methods of production, and the aging process, preserving the traditional techniques that have been used in the region for generations.
Agour’s Ossau-Iraty is often praised for its creamy consistency and its balanced taste, which includes hints of hazelnut and a subtle sharpness.
