To Basque or not to Basque Sheep's milk cheeses are made throughout Europe and North America, but some of the best are either from or have roots in the Basque regions of France. The cheese from there is renowned for smooth, gentle flavors: subtle overtones of herbs, honey and butter. We're immensely proud to present two of the finest Basque style cheeses. From France, we have Fromage d'Ossau, which is aged by Rodophe Le Meunier (if you haven't tried his butter, you haven't lived). Verano is from David Major at Putney Farm, a cheesemaker who apprenticed for years in the Pyrenees. He's a master of the style, and his cheese is widely acclaimed as one of the finest made in America.
