Secret de Compostelle
he Basque country has been the symbol of the crossroads of Europe for thousands of years, and this cheese is exclusively made with sheep‘s milk from Labour and historically rich Navarre. The ripening gives it a typical and delicious flavour while maintaining a lovely creamy texture. The marked and long finish is reminiscent of hazelnuts. Ripening: 8 months
The cheesemakers named Secret de Compostelle after an old passage between the Spanish and French Basque regions where pilgrims moved freely trading recipes and information. Many say that this cheese is made with Spanish milk, but Agour actually uses milk from farms near the creamery though they may sometimes source from Spanish farms to meet quantity goals.
- Pasteurised Ewe's Milk
- Pyrenees, France
We recommend the following quantities per person:
For an after dinner cheese board, 30g to 50g per cheese per person is generally enough and should not leave you with much leftover. If you are planning to have a big table and / or want some cheese to be carried over a few days ,we recommend 60 to 80g per cheese per person.
The number of cheeses is up too you (i say the more the better!) but to achieve a good selection from textures, Strenghs & different milks, 4 to 6 cheeses are recommended.
