Pardou Arriou Brebis Sheep

Pardou Arriou Brebis is a traditional French raw sheep's milk cheese from the Pyrenees, specifically the Ossau Valley, made by Fromagerie Pardou using milk from Béarnaise sheep. It's a semi-firm, pressed cheese (similar to Ossau-Iraty) with a supple texture, nutty, sweet, and buttery flavors, notes of herbs, and a characteristic rich sheep's milk aroma, often aged slowly for deep flavor development. 

The Pardou family works directly with small-scale farmers, often using traditional dîme (tithe) systems for payment, allowing for careful selection and aging of high-quality cheese in cool cellars for a slow, complex flavor.
