Tourmalet

Artisanal CheeseClock Pairing Tool

Tourmalet is a cylindrically-shaped sheep's milk cheese from the Laruns Valley in the foothills of the Pyrénées. It is the farmhouse version of Petit Basque, a well-known Basque style cheese. Hard, smooth, and chewy, a cheese that has tremendous keeping qualities, Tourmalet has a distinctive, nutty flavor and meaty finish. Made from the raw milk of sheep grazing on wild grasses, herbs, and plants, Tourmalet will change your perspective on Pyrénées cheeses. This cheese pairs wonderfully with Madirans, Viogner wines, as well as those wines made with Sauvignon Blanc. One piece weighs approximately 1.7 lbs.
