P'tit Basque Istara

P'tit Basque is a cheese that was introduced in 1997, and was created by the French dairy giant Lactalis. P'tit Basque is made with pasteurized sheep's milk and is aged 70 days.Traditionally, shepherds made this small cheese from the leftover curd set aside after milking their ewes. Today Istara® P’tit Basque is still hand-made from pure ewe’s milk, using the same traditional methods established by local shepherds centuries ago. P’tit Basque boasts the dramatic heritage of the Basque region a land of deep valleys and steep mountains. It is a proud region between France and Spain where culinary tradition is very much alive.
